Weather Facts for Kids
Welcome to the Froggity Weather Lab. Today, young scientists will explore weather facts for kids by reading short science notes, choosing a weather condition, learning vocabulary, answering quiz questions, and creating a mini forecast.
Weather is what the air is like outside. It can be sunny, rainy, windy, cloudy, snowy, stormy, hot, or cold. Weather can change quickly because air, water, heat, wind, and clouds are always moving. Scientists study weather to help people plan safely for school, travel, farms, sports, and outdoor fun.
Your mission is to choose one weather condition and learn what makes it happen. Read each clue carefully. The facts in this activity can help kids understand clouds, rain, wind, sunshine, and storms in a simple way.
Choose a Weather Condition
Tap one weather card to reveal a science fact.
The Sun sends light and heat to Earth. Sunny days often feel warmer because more sunlight reaches the ground.
Rain can happen when tiny water drops inside clouds join together, become heavy, and fall to the ground.
Wind is moving air. Air can move when warm air rises and cooler air moves in to take its place.
Thunderstorms can form when warm, moist air rises quickly. Lightning is a huge spark of electricity in the sky.
