1. use the word bank to match the cloud types with associated weather.

word bank
stratus cumulonimbus cumulus cirrus

cloud type associated weather
__________ fair weather
__________ fair weather; indicates a change in weather
__________ can produce thunderstorms
__________ light drizzle

1. use the word bank to identify which weather tools were used in order to provide the weather report.

word bank
anemometer barometer thermometer rain gauge

weather tool weather report
__________ \the thunderstorm brought 5 inches of rain to the area.\
__________ \the hurricane is a category 5 because it has winds of 165 mph.\
__________ \we are concerned about road conditions because they were already wet and now the temperature is 30 °f.\
__________ \it is a beautiful day, with a high pressure of 35.02 inches of mercury.\

Explanation:

For the cloud matching:

1. Cumulus clouds are linked to calm, fair conditions.
2. Cirrus clouds signal coming weather shifts while being fair initially.
3. Cumulonimbus are tall storm clouds that cause thunderstorms.
4. Stratus clouds are low, layered clouds that bring light drizzle.

For the weather tool matching:

1. Rain gauges measure total rainfall amounts.
2. Anemometers measure wind speed, critical for hurricane categories.
3. Thermometers measure air temperature.
4. Barometers measure atmospheric pressure, reported in inches of mercury.

Answer:

1. Cloud Type and Associated Weather Matches:

Cloud Type	Associated Weather
cirrus	Fair weather; indicates a change in weather
cumulonimbus	Can produce thunderstorms
stratus	Light drizzle

2. Weather Tool and Weather Report Matches:

Weather Tool	Weather Report
anemometer	"The hurricane is a Category 5 because it has winds of 165 mph."
thermometer	"We are concerned about road conditions because they were already wet and now the temperature is 30 °F."
barometer	"It is a beautiful day, with a High Pressure of 35.02 inches of mercury."
