First and Second Grade Science Worksheets

Understanding the different types of weather that can occur during the day is an important concept for young learners. Being able to articulate words associated with temperature, precipitation, and weather conditions will help them make choices such as what to wear, how to get from one place to another, and much more. 

Teach Starter has created a simple cut-and-paste worksheet to help your students identify different types of weather conditions. With this worksheet, students will cut and paste a description and picture under each of the 8 weather words:

• Clear
• Cloudy
• Calm
• Windy
• Rainy
• Sunny
• Snowy
• Icy 

Please note that the image with windy crossed out represents calm, and the image with cloudy crossed out represents the term “clear.”

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!  

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

In addition to independent student work time, use this worksheet as an activity for:

• Lesson warm-up
• Lesson wrap-up
• Fast finishers 
• Homework assignment

For students who need an additional challenge, encourage them to create sentences with each of the vocabulary terms.

If there are students who need additional support, encourage them to reference an anchor chart or poster to help remind them of the different types of weather.
