About this resource
Description
Weather is the first Earth Science topic most children ever notice, because it changes outside their window every single day. This weather writing worksheet asks second graders to do two things good scientists do: name what the weather is doing, and then describe it in their own words. Rainy, cloudy, windy and foggy are not just labels — each one names something the air and the sky are actually doing, and children who can tell them apart are ready to observe, record and talk about weather all year long.
This 2nd grade earth science worksheet has two parts and takes about ten minutes. In the first part, students read a Word Bank of four weather words and write the best one into each of four sentences; every clue describes something true of exactly one kind of day, so the sentences reward reading rather than guessing. In the second part, students look out of the window and write two sentences about the weather they can see right now. An answer key is included, so this weather writing worksheet works as morning work, a science center, a quick check before a weather unit, or a homework page.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- A Word Bank of four weather words
- 4 fill-in-the-blank weather sentences
- 3 writing lines for an original two-sentence observation
- 1 answer key
Students learn this skill faster with this resource for three reasons. First, each sentence describes what the weather does — water falling, a sky turning gray, air lifting a kite — so children attach the word to the real event instead of memorizing a list. Second, the Word Bank is short and every word is used once, which keeps the task focused on meaning rather than on hunting. Third, the writing half turns the vocabulary around: instead of choosing a given word, students have to produce their own sentence about the sky above them, which is what a science notebook entry really looks like.
Teachers and parents can stretch this activity in a few easy ways. Start a class weather chart and add one word to it every morning for a month, then count which kind of day was most common. Ask students to draw the sky they described and label the drawing with two of the Word Bank words. Take the class outside and collect describing words with your eyes, ears and skin before writing. Finally, compare today’s weather with the weather in a story you are reading and talk about how it changes what the characters can do.
