Weather and Climate worksheet for students to choose the correct answers to questions about weather elements.

Let’s go through each question one by one and pick the correct answer.

---

Question 1:
“__________ is made up of soft pieces of ice.”
Options: a. water, b. light, c. snow, d. sun

→ Snow is frozen water that falls from clouds in small, soft flakes — which are basically tiny pieces of ice. Water is liquid, light and sun aren’t physical things you can touch like ice.
✔ Correct answer: c. snow

Question 2:
“__________ falls as rain and fills the oceans, rivers and lakes.”
Options: a. heat, b. light, c. water, d. snow

→ Rain is liquid water falling from the sky. It collects in bodies of water like oceans, rivers, and lakes. Heat and light don’t fill lakes. Snow can melt into water, but the question says “falls as rain” — so it’s directly talking about water.
✔ Correct answer: c. water

Question 3:
“__________ is a flash of light in the sky.”
Options: a. lightning, b. sun, c. wind, d. tornado

→ Lightning is the bright flash we see during storms. The sun is always there (not just a flash), wind and tornadoes are moving air, not light.
✔ Correct answer: a. lightning

Question 4:
“__________ is a loud sound that comes after lightning.”
Options: a. wind, b. thunder, c. snow, d. heat

→ Thunder is the booming sound caused by lightning heating the air quickly. You usually hear it right after seeing lightning. Wind, snow, and heat don’t make that loud boom.
✔ Correct answer: b. thunder

Question 5:
“A __________ is heavy rain with strong winds.”
Options: a. rain, b. dust, c. sand, d. storm

→ A storm often includes heavy rain AND strong winds. Just “rain” doesn’t include wind. Dust and sand are particles, not weather events with rain and wind together.
✔ Correct answer: d. storm

Question 6:
“A __________ floats in the sky.”
Options: a. snow, b. light, c. water, d. cloud

→ Clouds are visible masses of water vapor or ice crystals floating high in the atmosphere. Snow falls down, light isn’t something that “floats,” and water on its own doesn’t float unless it’s in a cloud form.
✔ Correct answer: d. cloud
