🌎 Climate Factors and Weather Patterns gives Grade 6 science students focused practice with key Earth & Space Science ideas related to climate and weather patterns. Designed for a Florida (NGSSS) science classroom, the resource combines science reading, written explanation, accuracy checks, and extended response so students work with the topic in several meaningful ways.

What students practice

• Identify factors associated with climate and weather patterns.
• Distinguish accurate from inaccurate statements about weather patterns.
• Explain climate and weather concepts through short written responses.
• Interpret science information presented in a reading passage.
• Construct an extended written response about climate and weather.

The activities include multiple-choice questions, true-or-false statements, short-answer responses, a reading passage, matching, a cloze passage, an essay, and a Did You Know section. This variety gives teachers multiple ways to check students' recall, interpretation, written explanation, and ability to communicate scientific ideas.
