Hot or Cold?
The metric system temperature measurement used in most countries around the world
Celsius Scale (C)
Moving air
Wind
How fast the wind blows
Wind Speed
The atmospheric layer where most of the Earth's weather occurs
Troposphere
A storm that includes the presence of lightning and thunder. They often include large amounts of rain, some hail, or even snow
Thunderstorm
A unit of temperature measurement
degree
Rain, snow, hail, and other forms of condensation that form in clouds and fall to the ground
Precipitation
A tool that measures precipitation
Rain Gauge
The mixture of gases surrounding the Earth and the other planets
atmosphere
A period of time when the amount of rain, snow, and other forms of precipitation is much less than in a normal year
Drought
A tool that measures temperature
thermometer
A powerful discharge of electricity during a thunderstorm
Lightning
An instrument used for showing the direction of the wind
Weather Vane or Windsock
The bottom layer of the atmosphere where clouds are found
Troposphere
A storm with high winds and rain that forms over oceans near the equator
Hurricane
How hot or cold something is
temperature
Sound of a lightning bolt. Occurs as the lightning rapidly heats and expands the air through which it travels
Thunder
The direction the wind blows from. (For example, if the wind blows from north to south, it is a north wind, or a "northerly.")
Wind direction
The layer of the atmosphere above the troposphere
Stratosphere
A storm that includes the presence of lightning and thunder. They often include large amounts of rain, some hail, or even snow
Tornado
A temperature scale that tells how hot or cold something is in the United States of America
Fahrenheit Scale (F)
A visible collection of immense numbers of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air
Cloud
A tool that measures wind speed
Anemometer
An object launched into orbit around the Earth which carries instruments that record and report back information about our weather
Satellite
A long-lasting snowstorm with low temperatures, strong winds (above 56 KPH), and a great deal of either falling or blowing snow
Blizzard
