Educational worksheet matching environmental terms with corresponding images to teach about global warming and climate change.

Let’s go step by step to match each picture with the correct word from the list.

We have 16 pictures and 16 words. We’ll look at each picture and think about what it shows, then pick the best matching word.

---

Picture 1: Sun shining on cracked dry ground → This shows very hot, dry weather with no water. That’s Drought.

Picture 2: Water level rising next to a ruler or gauge → Shows ocean or sea level going up. That’s Rising Ocean.

Picture 3: Trees being blown by strong wind → Windy trees can mean extreme weather like storms. But let’s check others — this might be Extreme Weather (since wind is part of that).

Wait — actually, looking again: Picture 3 has swirling winds around trees — could also be hurricane? But Picture 16 clearly shows a tornado/hurricane symbol. Let’s hold off and come back if needed.

Actually, Picture 3 looks like strong wind affecting trees — but not necessarily a full storm. Maybe it’s just showing “wind” as part of extreme weather? Let’s compare all.

Better approach: Go one by one and assign obvious ones first.

---

Picture 4: Floating ice chunks in water → These are small pieces of broken ice — likely Melting Ice (not glacier, since glaciers are huge land ice).

Picture 5: House on cracking earth, slope collapsing → Ground sliding down — that’s Landslide.

Picture 6: Trees on fire → Clearly Forest Fire.

Picture 7: House surrounded by floodwater → Flooding.

Picture 8: Green and blue bins with recycling symbols → Recycling Bins.

Picture 9: Glacier melting into water under sun → Big ice mass melting — that’s Melting Glacier.

Picture 10: Large floating ice block in ocean → That’s an Iceberg.

Picture 11: Smoke coming out of factory chimneys → Air pollution from factories → Air Pollution.

Picture 12: Tree stumps where forest used to be → Trees cut down → Deforestation.

Picture 13: Polar bear standing on small piece of ice → Animal affected by melting ice → Polar Bear.

Picture 14: Paper bag with recycling symbol → Reusable/recycled material → Recycled Bags.

Picture 15: Volcano erupting lava → Volcano.

Picture 16: Swirling wind with debris, maybe a tornado or hurricane → The word list includes Hurricane — this matches best.

Now go back to Picture 3: Trees with swirling wind lines — not as intense as Picture 16. Could it be “Extreme Weather”? Yes — because extreme weather includes high winds, storms, etc. And we haven’t used “Extreme Weather” yet.

Also, check if any duplicates or mismatches.

List of words again:
- Deforestation → Pic 12 ✔
- Air Pollution → Pic 11 ✔
- Melting Ice → Pic 4 ✔ (small ice chunks)
- Melting Glacier → Pic 9 ✔ (big glacier melting)
- Volcano → Pic 15 ✔
- Forest Fire → Pic 6 ✔
- Polar Bear → Pic 13 ✔
- Iceberg → Pic 10 ✔
- Recycled Bags → Pic 14 ✔
- Flooding → Pic 7 ✔
- Landside → Wait! Typo? Should be “Landslide” → Pic 5 ✔
- Rising Ocean → Pic 2 ✔
- Extreme Weather → Pic 3 ✔ (swirling wind around trees)
- Hurricane → Pic 16 ✔
- Drought → Pic 1 ✔
- Recycling Bins → Pic 8 ✔

All matched!

Double-check:

Pic 1: Drought — yes
Pic 2: Rising Ocean — yes
Pic 3: Extreme Weather — yes (windy conditions)
Pic 4: Melting Ice — yes (floating ice pieces)
Pic 5: Landslide — yes
Pic 6: Forest Fire — yes
Pic 7: Flooding — yes
Pic 8: Recycling Bins — yes
Pic 9: Melting Glacier — yes
Pic 10: Iceberg — yes
Pic 11: Air Pollution — yes
Pic 12: Deforestation — yes
Pic 13: Polar Bear — yes
Pic 14: Recycled Bags — yes
Pic 15: Volcano — yes
Pic 16: Hurricane — yes

Perfect — all 16 matched correctly.
