Grade 2 Water and Weather Practice Test

Build Grade 2 science skills with five 10-question practice tests on water states, the water cycle, weather conditions, weather tools, severe weather, and safety.

Water and Weather Practice Tests

These Grade 2 Science practice tests help students describe water in its solid, liquid, and gas forms and observe how water moves through the water cycle. Students also identify weather conditions, use weather tools, recognize severe weather, and choose safe actions.

Skills covered

  • Identifying solid, liquid, and gas forms of water
  • Understanding evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and collection
  • Describing temperature, clouds, wind, and daily weather
  • Matching weather tools to their measurements
  • Recognizing thunderstorms, tornadoes, blizzards, hurricanes, floods, and droughts
  • Practicing weather safety and water conservation

How to use these practice tests

Complete one 10-question test at a time. Look for clues about a change in water, a weather measurement, or a safety action. After each test, describe one way people can prepare for weather or protect clean water.
