About this worksheet
Pack the Suitcase! turns climate learning into a hands-on cut-and-sort activity your third graders will love. Students decide what to pack for two very different trips—a hot, sunny destination and a cold, snowy one—and discover how the climate of a place shapes the choices we make every day. It is a low-prep, high-engagement way to build weather and climate vocabulary while kids cut, sort, and glue.
Students cut out twelve friendly travel-item picture cards (sun hat, sunglasses, winter coat, mittens, and more), then sort and glue each one into the correct suitcase. A short “Think About It” prompt asks them to explain why an item belongs on that trip, building reasoning and writing right alongside the sorting. Soft warm and cool color cues help younger students keep the two trips straight, and clear labels keep them supported whether they work alone, with a partner, or in a small group.
This no-prep printable supports NGSS 3-ESS2-2 (comparing the climates of different regions) and works beautifully for science centers, morning work, sub plans, or a weather-and-climate unit.
