Oral Report: Weather Vocabulary Test, Science Semester 2

Weather: it's what's happening in the atmosphere.

Atmosphere: a blanket of gas that surrounds the Earth.

Climate: Usual weather in a certain place.

3 Ingredients of Weather:
Air Temperature
How much water there is in the air
Air Movement

Clouds: they're made of water

Cirrus: Feathery Cloud
Cumulus: Puffy Happy Clouds
Cumulonimbus: Stormy Clouds. The cloud gets really big and the hot air pushes it high high and then it gets mad when it hits the cold part of the atmosphere.

The Water Cycle: Water gets warm in lakes and seas and it evaporates and the little pieces of water find each other and make a cloud. Then it gets cold and condenses and turns back into a liquid and then it rains and goes back in the seas and rivers.

Forecast: We watch on TV and tells us if we should do things outside if we don't know what they weather's gonna be outside.

Meteorologist: a scientist that tells you what the weather's gonna be.

Why did you like studying the weather? I like remembering things, like if we're going to stop learning about them.
