Directions: Match the following pictures in group A to its meaning in
group B by writing the correct letter in your science notebook.  
One of the ways to predict the weather is by measuring
the air
temperature. Weather conditions affect the day’s
temperature. To predict
weather in our surroundings, weather instruments can be
used in measuring different weather conditions. Weather
charts also presents weather components that determine
the weather condition at any given
time.
Activity 1: “Identify
Me?”
Directions: Identify the
different weather
instruments by
choosing the correct
word from the box
below. Write your
answer in your science
notebook.
The following are the primary conditions/weather
components of the
atmosphere and the weather instruments used to measure
them:
1. Wind is the movement of air parallel to Earth's
surface.
 A wind vane is a device that tells the direction of the
wind. Wind direction is the direction from which the
wind is blowing (four directions: E- East, W-West, N-
North, and S-South).
o North wind - if the arrowhead of
the wind vane faces the north
direction
o East wind - if the arrowhead of the
wind vane faces the east direction
o If the arrowhead points between
North and East, we say, the wind is
blowing northeast.
 An anemometer measures
wind speed. The cups catch
the wind, turning a dial
attached to the instrument.
The dial shows the wind
speed. The speed of the wind
may be fast or slow.
Sometimes it blows gently but
at other times it blows fast.
 A windsock tells both the wind direction
and wind speed.
2. Humidity is the amount of moisture in the air
which is measured by a hygrometer.
 Hygrometer uses a pair of thermometers
where one bulb is open to the air and the other
has a bulb covered in a wet cloth. This cause
evaporation on the wet bulb and loss of heat
thus a drop in temperature reading. The relative
humidity can then be derived from the
temperature difference between the two
thermometers.
3. Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness on a definite
scale of air around us. Places near the equator have high
temperature because they receive direct rays of the sun. The time of
the day and time of the year also affect the air temperature.
 A thermometer is used to measure air temperature. A room
thermometer may bear the Fahrenheit, the Celsius scale, or both.
Air temperature is typically read in degrees Celsius or °C while the
Fahrenheit scale is mainly used in the United States.
 Liquid–in–glass (traditional
thermometer) -A thermometer has a
glass tube sealed at
both ends and is partly filled with a
liquid like mercury or alcohol. As the
environment
becomes hotter, the liquid inside the
thermometer expands causing a rise of
the
liquid level in the glass tube.
 An infrared thermometer (non-
contact thermometer) is a
thermometer which measures
temperature from a specific
surface portion of the object at a
safe distance. The thermometer
will compare the heat emitted by
the object with its surroundings.
4. Pressure is the weight of force
that is produced when something
presses or pushes against
something else.
 A barometer is a scientific
instrument that is used to measure
air pressure in a certain
environment. The level of liquid
inside it will indicate subtle
pressure changes caused by
weather elements.
5. Precipitation is the water that falls
into the ground as rain, snow etc.
 Rain Gauge. It measures the
amount of rain that has fallen
over a very specific time period.
6. Cloud formation is a visible mass
of particles of condensed vapor
suspended in the atmosphere of a
planet.
Observing the weather condition will help us decide the kind of
activities we will do for the day. Planning ahead can be aided by
weather predictions.
 Weather charts present about weather components that
determine the weather condition at any given time. Below is an
example of a
weather chart.
 Weather report is important because we can give accurate
data on different weather elements. Below is an example of
weather report.
Directions: Identify what is being asked in the statement
below. Then answer the riddle by identifying the pictures
shown. Write your answers in
your science notebook.
1. I can tell the direction of the wind if it is going to east or
west, north or south. What am I? __________

Activity: Find Me!

Direction: Find the words that are related to weather in the puzzle below.
Encircle the word in the box.
A weather instrument is any type of measurement device that gives
information about the weather. Meteorologists and hobbyists use
many different types of weather instruments to gauge accurate
information about current climate and help to predict future
weather. These devices are used by atmospheric
scientists to sample the state of the atmosphere, or what it is doing,
at a given time. Unlike chemists, biologists, and physicists,
meteorologists do not use these instruments in a lab. They are used
in the field, placed outdoors as a suite of sensors which, together,
provide a complete picture of weather conditions.
 Directions: Read the following sentences and write TRUE if
the statement is true and FALSE if it is not. Write your
answers in you answer sheet.
1. The daily weather report will help you know the weather
condition.
2. Each one of us must not care about the weather because our
work depends on its condition for each day.
3. Observing the weather condition will help us decide the kind of activities
we will do for the day.
4. Weather report is important.
5. Knowing the weather condition will not help us to be safe and prepare for
dangers and calamities.
One of the ways to predict the weather is to measure the temperature is
measured. Here are some weather instruments used to measure weather:
1. A THERMOMETER measures the air temperature. Most thermometers are
closed glass tubes containing liquids such as alcohol or mercury. When air
around the tube heats the liquid, the liquid expands and moves up the tube. A
scale then shows what the actual temperature is. A thermometer may bear the
Fahrenheit, the Celcius scale or both. Air temperature is read in degrees
Fahrenheit or 0F and degrees Celsius or 0C. Temperature is the hotness and
coldness of air around us. It differs from place to place. The time of the day
and the time of the year also affect the air temperature.
2. A WIND VANE is an instrument that determines
the direction from which the wind is blowing. Wind
direction is the direction from which the wind is
blowing. The four letters E, W, N, S represent the
four directions: East, West, North, and South.
3. An ANEMOMETER measures wind speed. The speed of
the wind may be fast or slow. Sometimes it blows gently but
at the other times it blows fast.
Weather charts tell about weather components that
determine the weather condition at any given time. The daily
weather report will help you know the weather condition.
Weather report is important. We should give accurate data on air
temperature, wind speed and direction and the sky condition.
Observing the weather condition will help us decide the kind of
activities we will do for the day. Each one of us must care about
the weather because our work depends on its condition for each
day. Knowing the weather condition helps us to be safe and
prepare for dangers and calamities. Here are some weather
components in a weather chart:
• Air Temperature-We have to look the temperature
(maximum or minimum) expected for the forecast period.
Daytime maximum temperatures usually occur between 1
to 4 PM. Night time minimum temperatures usually
occurs or at near sunrise.
• Wind Speed and Direction-Wind speed and direction are
important for monitoring and predicting weathers patterns
and global climate.
Wind speed refers to how fast the wind
blows. It is usually expressed in kilometer per hour. Wind
direction describes the direction on a compass from which the wind
emanates, for instance from the North of from the
West. Shifts in wind direction may indicate changes in
weather.
• Sky Condition- describes the average fraction of the sky
covered by cloud. Clear or sunny means that less than 20 per cent of the sky
has cloud. It consist of two main areas: cloud cover and probability of
precipitation. Probability of precipitation is the likelihood that it will rain,
snow, sleet, or hail. Meteorologists use several instruments and scientific
calculations to figure out this probability.
Cloud cover is based on observations more than
calculations. Cloud cover is the amount of sky that is covered by clouds.
Directions: Answer the following question and write your answer
in your answer sheet. Write TRUE if it the statement is correct
and FALSE if it is not.
1. Anemometer always blows gently.
2. Wind vane is an instrument that determines the direction from
which the wind is blowing. Sound can be modified.
3. An anemometer measures wind speed. Sound can be bounced.
4. Temperature is the hotness and coldness of air around us.
5. Wind direction is the direction from which the wind is
blowing.
Directions: Give what is being asked in each number. Choose your answers in
the box below. Write your answer in your answer sheet.
1. ____ are the fundamental basis for weather analysis and forecasts.
2. It describes the average fraction of the sky covered by cloud.
3. Knowing the _________ helps us to be safe and prepare for dangers and
calamities.
4. _______________ refers to how fast the wind blows.
5. Wind speed is usually expressed in ____________.
6. ________ describes the direction on a compass from
which the wind emanates, for instance from the North of from
the West. Shifts in this may indicate changes in weather.
What do you think is the importance of
knowing the different uses of weather
instruments and reading of the weather charts?
Why is there a need for us to know and be
observant of the weather conditions?
 Directions: Arrange the jumbled letters to form the word
that is being described in each number. Write your answer
in your answer sheet.

Direction: Observe very well the drawings and answer the
questions that follow.
Do you wonder what the weather will be today,
tomorrow or in any other particular day? Anyone can
make weather forecasts by
simply looking at the sky today and predicting the
weather tomorrow.
Weather influences our lives. It is important to know
what makes the weather change so often.
Direction: Match Column A with Column B.
Weather is a condition of the atmosphere at any given
time and place. There are different weather instruments
being used to predict the weather for a day. A
meteorologist is a man who studies or deals about the
atmosphere and the weather. They use different
weather instruments to predict the weather for the day.
A thermometer is used to measure temperature. A room
thermometer has numbers on each side. Air temperature is read
in degrees Fahrenheit (˚F) and degrees Celsius (˚C). The right
side shows the Celsius reading. Its highest number is 100 while
its lowest is 0. The number near the end of the red column tells
the temperature of the air. Red alcohol or mercury is a substance
that is very sensitive to heat. When the air is hot, the liquid
expands and rises. When the air is cold, the liquid becomes
heavy and sinks.
Temperature is the hotness and coldness
of air around us. It differs from place to
place and from time to time. The angle
at which the sun’s rays strike the
surface affects the temperature
of a place. The time of the day and the
time of the year also
affect the temperature. When there is no
disturbance,
temperature is at its highest at noon
time and lowest at 6:00 am.
Wind also affects the weather.
Wind is the moving air over
Earth’s surface. A wind vane is a
device that tells the direction of the
wind. Wind direction is the
direction from which the wind is
blowing. The four letters E, W, N,
S represents the four directions:
East, West, North and South.
If the arrowhead of the wind vane faces
the north direction,
we say, the wind is blowing north. It is
the North wind. If the
arrowhead points between North and
East, we say, the wind is blowing
North-east.
An anemometer measures wind
speed. There are four cups mounted
on arms attached to a rotating shaft.
The cups turn around when pushed
by the wind. As the wind blows
faster, the cups turn faster, too.
When the wind blows gently, the
cups turn slower. A change in speed
of the cups indicates a change in
wind speed.
A wind sock can show both
the wind speed and wind
direction. The wind sock
rotates on a pole and shows
the direction of the wind. If
the sock is blowing straight
out, it shows that the
wind is strong. If the sock
is limp, there is a very light
wind.
Direction: Identify the weather instrument shown
below.
 Direction: Arrange the letters to form the word using the
descriptive phrases as clues.
__________1. (TURAPETEMER) - is the hotness and coldness
of air around us.
_________ 2. (DWIN ENVA) - It only shows the direction of the
wind.
_________ 3. (DWIN COSK) - The instrument that can show
both the wind speed and direction.
__________ 4. (TERMOANEME) - It only measures the speed
of the wind.
__________ 5. (RETEMOMTHER) - The instrument that
measures the temperature of the air.
What do you think is the importance of
knowing the different uses of weather
instruments and reading of the weather
charts?
Why is there a need for us to know and be
observant of the weather conditions?
Direction: Choose the letter of the correct answer.

Activity No. 1- How Do You Use Me?
- Objective: Use room thermometer to measure temperature
What you need:
• room/wall thermometer, graphing paper
What to do:
1. Look at the drawing of a thermometer
2. Get your thermometer.
3. What is the use of liquid inside it?
4. What do F and C mean?
5. What do you observe about the number under F and C?
One of the ways to predict the weather is to measure the
temperature. A thermometer is used to measure air temperature.
A room thermometer has numbers etched on each side. The left
side shows the Celsius reading. Its highest number is 100 while
its lowest is 0. Look at the red column of the thermometer. The
number near the end of the red column tells the temperature of
the air. A thermometer may bear the Fahrenheit, the Celsius
scale, or both. Air temperature is read in degrees Fahrenheit of
0F and degrees Celsius 0C. Temperature is the hotness and
coldness of air around us.
It differs from place to place. The angle at which the
sun’s rays strike the surface affects the temperature of
a place. Places near the equator have high temperature
because they receive direct rays of the sun. The time
of the day and time of the year also affect the day’s
temperature. When there is no weather disturbance,
temperature is at its lowest in the morning. Further,
temperature is low during rainy days and high on a
fine weather.
Wind vane is another weather instrument that tells the
direction of the wind. Wind direction is the direction from which the
wind is blowing. The four letters E, W, N, S, represent the four
directions: East, West, North, and South. If the arrowhead of the
wind vane faces the north direction, we say, the wind is blowing
NORTH. It is the North wind. If it blows from the east, it is East
wind. If the arrowhead points between North and East, we say, the
wind is blowing Northeast.
The speed of the wind may be fast or slow. Sometimes it
blows gently but at other times it blows fast. An anemometer
measures wind speed.
In an anemometer, four cups mounted on arms
are attached to a rotating shaft. The cups turn
around as they are pushed by the wind. As the
wind blows faster, the cups turn faster, too. When
the wind blows gently, the cups of the
anemometer turn slower. A change in speed
indicates a change in wind speed.
Direction: Write True if the statement is correct and False it
is wrong. Do it in your notebook.
