2. Weather use appropriate tools to measure temperature and precipitation use appropriate tools to measure temperature and precipitation match cloud type with a specific kind of weather match cloud type with a specific kind of weather

3. Tools Used to Measure Weather ThermometerBarometer Weather Vane Anemometer Rain Gauge

4. Thermometer measures how hot and cold it feels outside can be measured using Fahrenheit or Celsius Fahrenheit – scale counts by twos Celsius – scale counts by ones

5. Barometer measures pressure in the atmosphere high pressure is associated with stable weather patterns low pressure is associated with less stable weather patterns

6. Weather Vane measures wind directions Cardinal Directions – North, South, East, West

7. Anemometer measures wind speed

8. Rain Gauge measures the amount of precipitation that has fallen over a set period of time can be measured in any unit (feet, inches, centimeters…)

9. Types of Clouds CumulusStratusCirrusCumulonimbus

10. Cumulus Clouds puffy clouds with flat bottoms and are located low in the sky associated with fair weather can become thunderheads and bring rain

11. Stratus Clouds horizontal, layered clouds that stretch out across the sky like a blanket do not usually cause precipitation if low enough, can be considered fog

12. Cirrus Clouds wispy and feathery looking form at very high altitudes made of ice crystals so that sunlight may pass through

13. Cumulonimbus Clouds known as thunderheads can be seen on warm summer days may bring strong winds, hail, and rain

14. TRUE of FALSE An anemometer measures how much rain has fallen over a set period of time. TRUE FALSE
