About this worksheet
Find out what your students really think about storms before you teach with this 10-question severe storms pre-assessment for grades 6-8. Every item is built to surface a common misconception, so you can see exactly where your class is starting from.
The mix of true-false and multiple-choice questions targets the ideas students most often get wrong: that the calm eye means a hurricane is over, that hurricanes and tornadoes form the same way, that a bigger storm is always stronger, and that a hurricane's category measures rainfall or flooding rather than wind speed. One item even probes the surprising truth about lightning, which can travel from the ground up.
What's included: a ready-to-print 10-question student pre-assessment and a complete teacher answer key with every correct answer marked, so you can score at a glance and plan your unit around what students already believe.
Skills covered: hurricanes, tornadoes, storm safety, the Saffir-Simpson scale, and weather reasoning. Aligned to NGSS MS-ESS3-2. Print and give on day one, then use the same items as a post-assessment to measure growth.
