Explanation:
Let’s match each weather instrument to what it measures.
1.
Wind direction — The instrument that shows wind direction is the
weather vane (the one shaped like a rooster or arrow on a pole). It points in the direction the wind is coming from.
2.
Wind speed — The instrument with three or four cups that spin in the wind is the
anemometer. The faster the cups spin, the stronger the wind.
3.
Amount of rain fall — The funnel-shaped instrument that collects rainwater is the
rain gauge. You read how much water collected to know how much rain fell.
4.
Temperature — The long glass tube with red liquid (or digital display) that shows hot or cold is the
thermometer.
Now fill in the table:
- “tells us wind direction” → Picture: weather vane → Name:
weather vane
- “tells us wind speed” → Picture: anemometer (three cups) → Name:
anemometer
- “tells us the amount of rain fall” → Picture: rain gauge (funnel with container) → Name:
rain gauge
- “tells us the temperature” → Picture: thermometer → Name:
thermometer
Double-check:
- Weather vane = direction
✔
- Anemometer = speed
✔
- Rain gauge = rainfall
✔
- Thermometer = temperature
✔
All match correctly.
Final Answer:
weather vane
anemometer
rain gauge
thermometer
