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 the worksheet on their own 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 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.

This worksheet is designed for Kindergarten students (Ages 3-6), aligned to NGSS standard K-ESS2-1. It can also be used as review for early students at the next grade level or as an introduction for advanced students.

Yes. This worksheet works for homeschool, classroom, and tutoring settings. Print individual pages for targeted practice, or print the full set as a packet. Works great as a morning warm-up, independent center activity, or fast-finisher task.

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.
