This word sort activity connects weather measurement tools with their corresponding measurements. Students match 12 weather-related terms between tools and what they measure. The activity builds understanding of meteorological instruments and their purposes, helping students grasp how weather data is collected and measured. This hands-on classification strengthens the connection between weather science tools and their functions. Perfect for upper elementary students studying weather and climate, it aligns with NGSS Earth Science standards while building technical vocabulary and scientific understanding.
