Free 1st Grade Measuring weather Worksheets

First graders learn that weather scientists called meteorologists use specific tools to collect data about temperature, rainfall, wind speed, and air pressure. They practice reading a simple thermometer, understand what a rain gauge collects, and learn that measuring weather helps us make forecasts.

Measuring weather is usually introduced in Grade 1 during a weather unit, often in fall or early spring. Teachers may set up a simple weather station outside the classroom so students can collect real measurements throughout the unit.

Get a basic thermometer and read the temperature together each morning before completing the worksheet. If you have a rainy week, set out a jar to collect rainwater and measure it. Reading real weather data at home gives the worksheet activities a purpose beyond the page.
