Weather words

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?" Then let them work through it with your modeling first (do the first item together on the board), then try the rest 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 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 worksheets for Kindergarten 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 accurately. Working through weather on paper gives Kindergarten students something concrete to hold onto before, during, or after the hands on part of a lesson.

Yes, both. We made it for Kindergarten 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. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Weather worksheets teach kindergartners to identify and describe common weather types using weather vocabulary such as sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, and windy. Children also begin to understand that weather affects what we wear and how we spend our time outdoors.

Weather is one of the first Earth science topics introduced in kindergarten and is often used as a daily classroom routine. Many teachers keep a weather chart and have students record the daily weather throughout the school year.

Start a simple weather journal with your child and use these worksheets to record the weather each morning. Stepping outside together to observe and describe the weather before filling in the worksheet turns science into a daily adventure.

1 printable worksheet, 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 Kindergarten students, roughly ages 3-6. 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 Kindergarten classroom, a literacy centre, or a tutoring session.
