Climate and Weather Hazards

Grade 3 - Science - Building Confidence

Worksheet 1

  1. Which hazard fits this evidence: Mon rainy, Tue rainy, Wed cloudy, Thu rainy?

    A bar graph shows the weather evidence values.A bar graph with a numbered vertical scale and 4 bars. The bars read Mon 1, Tue 1, Wed 0, Thu 1.Hazard Evidence01MonTueWedThu

  2. Which preparation best matches the hazard "cold morning"?

  3. Why should a community collect data like "Wind 5 mph, 12 mph, 20 mph, 28 mph"?

  4. Which design would help with "flooding"?

  5. Which evidence should be checked before warning about "drought"?

About this worksheet

Climate and weather hazards show why communities use data and design solutions to reduce harm helps third graders connect observations with scientific explanations instead of memorizing isolated facts. Students may name a dangerous event but miss the preparation that matches it, such as using flood barriers for flooding rather than for heat. This worksheet uses short evidence-based situations so students must read the setup, identify the pattern, and choose the answer that fits the science idea named in the title. Students match hazards with evidence, choose reasonable preparations, and connect weather patterns to community design choices. Support versions use familiar examples and direct wording. Standard and challenge versions add closer distractors and require more comparison. Encourage your child to point to the evidence in the prompt before choosing an answer. If the answer does not explain the observation or solve the stated problem, it is probably a distractor. That habit builds careful science reasoning and prepares students for longer investigations.

What your child will learn

  • Identify weather hazards
  • Use evidence from patterns
  • Choose preparation plans
  • Connect hazards to designs

Worked example

Several dry weeks can warn of drought, so saving water is a reasonable preparation.

Common mistake

Choosing a safety plan that does not match the hazard.

Helpful hint

Match the preparation to the hazard named in the evidence.
