Weather Task Cards

Weather Task Cards are a no-prep, fun way to describe the effects of weather on ecosystems and review how weather tools, clouds, and air pressure systems can be used to predict the weather.

Weather Task Cards includes 28 task cards, a student response worksheet, and an answer key. Questions are multiple choice and multiple select.

What will students review with these task cards?

With these Weather Task Cards, students will review:

• The differences between and examples of weather and climate
• How weather instruments are used to predict weather (anemometer, barometer, thermometer, rain gauge, and weathervane)
• The different types of clouds and how they are used to predict the weather
• The types of weather associated with high- and low-pressure systems
• Extreme weather conditions (thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, and ice storms) and their effects on ecosystems

What standards are covered?

These Weather Task Cards are specifically aligned with the Virginia Science SOL 4.4, although they closely match most science standards related to describing the effects of weather on ecosystems and using weather tools, clouds, and air pressure systems can be used to predict the weather.

This unit has been updated to align with the 2018 Science SOLs AND the 2025 Science Instructional Guides.

Is a digital version included?

These Weather Task Cards resource includes BOTH a digital version and a PDF version. The digital version can be accessed through Google Forms and allows students to easily self-check their work. You can also use the Google Forms task cards to track student progress.

When you purchase this product, you will be given access to a link that will allow you to open the file in Google Forms. You’ll then share that file with your students.

What if I want to create my own science task cards?

Four blank task cards are included so that you can create additional questions, if needed. For these task cards, you will print the blank cards and write your questions directly on the cards.
