Aligned with NGSS K-ESS3-2, this activity introduces kindergarten students to the tools and methods used in weather forecasting. In 'Tools Used in Weather Forecasting,' students sort items like 'thermometer,' 'forecast app,' and 'weather map' into categories of 'Measures Weather' or 'Shares Weather Information.' This engaging word sort enhances vocabulary and builds early science skills, helping children understand how weather tools inform preparedness and safety actions in daily life and in severe weather events.
