Grade 3 science worksheet on weather instruments and their measurements.

Let’s go step by step to match each weather instrument with what it measures.

First, look at the list of instruments:
- thermometer
- barometer
- anemometer
- weather vane
- rain gauge

Now, look at what each one measures:
- wind speed
- air pressure
- rainfall
- temperature
- wind direction

We’ll match them one by one using what we know about each tool.

1. Weather vane – This is the rooster-shaped thing that spins and points in the direction the wind is blowing. So it measures wind direction.

2. Rain gauge – This looks like a clear tube or cup that collects rain. You can see how much rain fell by looking at the water level inside. So it measures rainfall.

3. Thermometer – This is the long glass tube with red liquid inside (or digital). It shows how hot or cold it is. So it measures temperature.

4. Anemometer – This has cups that spin when the wind blows. The faster they spin, the stronger the wind. So it measures wind speed.

5. Barometer – This often looks like a dial or clock-like device. It tells us about changes in air pressure, which helps predict storms or sunny days. So it measures air pressure.

Now let’s write the matches clearly:

→ Weather vane → wind direction
→ Rain gauge → rainfall
→ Thermometer → temperature
→ Anemometer → wind speed
→ Barometer → air pressure

Final Answer:
weather vane — wind direction
rain gauge — rainfall
thermometer — temperature
anemometer — wind speed
barometer — air pressure
