Weather and Clothes

Start with something students can look at or think about: a photo, a short video, a jar on the windowsill, or a question like "what do you already know about weather and clothing?" Then let them work through the first item together as a class, then finish the rest independently or with a partner, keeping a word bank or anchor chart in view so the vocabulary stays available. When you review, ask students how they knew, and let them point to the part of the diagram or reading that told them. These weather and clothing worksheets work well as a lead in before an investigation, as a way to capture what students noticed afterward, or as review before an assessment.

These weather and clothing worksheets for 1st grade give students a clear, visual way to work through one of the big ideas in weather and seasons. Students label diagrams, sort and classify examples, read short explanations, and answer questions that ask them to say why, not just what. Each page keeps the science vocabulary front and center so students leave with the words they need to talk about weather and clothing accurately. Working through weather and clothing on paper gives 1st grade students something concrete to hold onto before, during, or after the hands on part of a lesson.

Yes, both. We made it for 1st Grade weather and seasons, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with weather and clothing. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

First graders learn to think about how weather conditions affect what we wear, building the connection between scientific observation and practical decision-making. They practice matching clothing items to weather types and explaining their reasoning, which develops vocabulary and logical thinking alongside science content.

This topic is usually introduced early in a Grade 1 weather unit as an accessible, real-world application of weather knowledge. Because it draws on students' daily experiences, it's one of the most engaging starting points for young scientists.

Every morning is a chance to practice this skill, ask your child to check the weather and choose their own outfit based on what they observe. Use the worksheet to review why certain choices make sense. Over time, this daily habit strengthens both science thinking and independence.

10 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 1st Grade students, roughly ages 6-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Each one shows the NGSS code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 1st Grade classroom, a literacy centre, or a tutoring session.
