Quiz on weather tools for second graders

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🌡️ A thermometer measures temperature (how hot or cold something is). We usually measure temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
• 🌧️ A rain gauge measures how much rain has fallen. It's usually a tube that collects water.
• 💨 An anemometer measures wind speed. It has cups that spin around when the wind blows.
• 🧭 A wind vane (or weather vane) shows the direction the wind is blowing from. It often looks like an arrow.
• ☀️ A barometer measures air pressure. Changes in air pressure can tell us about upcoming weather.
