8 questions with a Easter theme plus a full answer key. Perfect for Grade 6 Science.
⬇ Download WorksheetStudents will distinguish between weather and climate, explain how the water cycle drives weather patterns, and analyze how atmospheric conditions create long-term climate trends.
Before Q6, ask students to recall the air pressure clue Zoe finds in Q5. Have pairs debate whether the Easter Valley's climate is caused by its location or its elevation — students can reference Q3 and Q7 data to support their claim.
- Zoe arrives at Easter Valley to find hidden treasure: a rare climate journal. The first page asks: 'Is today's rainstorm an example of weather or climate?' What should Zoe write? Explain your answer in one sentence.
- Zoe reads the next page of the climate journal. It says: 'Easter Valley gets rain every April for 30 years.' True or false: this 30-year rain pattern is an example of climate. Circle your answer and write one reason why.
- Zoe finds a unique item: a painted Easter egg with two maps inside. Map A shows Easter Valley near the ocean. Map B shows a valley far inland. Zoe knows oceans moderate temperatures nearby. Which valley most likely has milder, wetter climate? Name it and explain using the word 'moisture.'

About this Science worksheet for Grade 6
Students at the sixth-grade level need to distinguish between weather (short-term atmospheric conditions) and climate (long-term patterns), a critical foundation for NGSS.MS-ESS2-5, and this worksheet develops that skill by having students analyze observational data over extended time periods to identify patterns. Teachers can use this resource as a formative assessment during the weather and climate unit, asking students to explain their reasoning about why certain conditions represent weather versus climate patterns, which reveals whether they understand temporal scale—a concept many sixth graders struggle with initially.
This printable Science worksheet is designed for Grade 6 students and covers Weather Climate. The Easter theme keeps kids engaged while they practice essential Science skills. Every worksheet includes a full answer key making it easy for parents and teachers to check work instantly. Aligned to Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Grade 6 Science.
