Let’s go step by step to solve this weather instrument matching task.

We have 5 weather instruments shown in pictures (though we won’t describe them, we’ll use their names and what they do). We also have 5 things they measure: wind speed, air pressure, rainfall, temperature, wind direction.

First, let’s recall what each instrument does:

1. Thermometer → Measures how hot or cold it is → that’s temperature
2. Barometer → Measures the weight of the air above us → that’s air pressure
3. Anemometer → Has cups that spin in the wind → measures how fast the wind blows → wind speed
4. Weather vane → Points to show which way the wind is blowing → wind direction
5. Rain gauge → Catches rain like a cup → measures how much rain fell → rainfall

Now, match each instrument to what it measures:

- The instrument that looks like a rooster on top with arrows → that’s a weather vane → matches wind direction
- The one that looks like a glass cylinder catching water → that’s a rain gauge → matches rainfall
- The long thin tube with red liquid inside → that’s a thermometer → matches temperature
- The one with spinning cups → that’s an anemometer → matches wind speed
- The round dial with numbers and hands → that’s a barometer → matches air pressure

So now we can fill in the blanks and draw lines:

From left to right (top to bottom):

1. Weather vane → wind direction
2. Rain gauge → rainfall
3. Thermometer → temperature
4. Anemometer → wind speed
5. Barometer → air pressure

All matched correctly.

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