This is the state of matter where molecules are very closely packed together and the object will keep its shape.
What is SOLID?
100
In this stage of the water cycle, water leaves its source and becomes a gas (vapor).
What is EVAPORATION?
100
This weather instrument tells us how fast the wind is blowing. (wind speed)
What is an ANEMOMETER?
100
This type of front is shown on a weather map with a line that has blue triangles.
What is a COLD FRONT?
100
This kind of cloud looks big and puffy like cotton balls.
What is a CUMULUS cloud?
200
This is what we have to add to get a solid to change into a liquid.
What is HEAT?
200
In this stage of the water cycle, water vapor cools and becomes tiny droplets of liquid again.
What is CONDENSATION?
200
This weather instrument tells us how Much energy (heat) the air has.
What is a THERMOMETER?
200
This type of front is shown on a weather map with a line that has red semi-circles.
What is a warm front?
200
Name the 4 types of precipitation
What is
RAIN
SNOW
SLEET
and HAIL?
300
This is the state of matter that has no definite volume and takes the shape of its container. The molecules are very far apart.
What is GAS?
300
This is the energy source for the entire water cycle.
What is THE SUN?
300
This weather instrument tells us how air pressure we have around us.
What is a barometer?
300
This is a device in space the we can use to look down on weather and help predict big weather like hurricanes.
What is a SATELLITE?
300
This type of cloud blankets the whole sky with its dull, grey color.
What are STRATUS CLOUDS?
400
When we heat water to 100 degrees C, it boils as it changes from what state to what state?
What is LIQUID to GAS?
400
In this stage of the water cycle, water flows back into rivers or streams, or lakes or oceans. It can also soak into the ground or be absorbed by plants.
What is COLLECTION?
400
This weather instrument tells us the direction of the wind.
What is a WIND VANE or WEATHER VANE?
400
This is how a high pressure area is shown on a weather map.
What is a BIG LETTER "H"
400
This is the largest desert in the world. It gets the least precipitation of any place on Earth.
What is ANTARCTICA?
500
This is the state of matter that takes the shape of its container and can flow and pour. The molecules are sort of close together.
What is LIQUID?
500
In this stage of the water cycle, liquid water droplets gather together until they are too heavy to stay in the air. Water then falls from the sky as rain, snow, sleet or hail.
What is PRECIPITATION?
500
This weather instrument tells us how much rain has fallen recently.
What is a RAIN GAUGE?
500
This is the word for someone who studies and predicts the weather.
What is a METEROLOGIST
500
This type of cloud exists WAY up high and looks feathery because it is made of ice crystals.
