What can we learn by looking up at the sky?
Weather
water that falls from clouds to the ground
rain
This is when warmth from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, streams, ice and soils to rise into the air and turn into water vapour (gas). Water vapour droplets join together to make clouds!

What does a thermometer tell us?
Temperature
ice crystals falling softly from the clouds to the ground

The temperature is 25 degrees and snowing...what do you wear?
Jacket and warm clothes
a storm with violent wind, a tropical cyclone
hurricane
This is when water that falls from the clouds as rain, snow, hail or sleet, collects in the oceans, rivers, lakes, streams. Most will infiltrate (soak into) the ground and will collect as underground water.
