Help your students build real understanding of what is an air mass through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Students will answer questions such as "What happens when two different air masses meet?", "Which type of air mass is most likely to influence summer weather in the southeastern U.S?", and "What characteristic is primarily used to classify air masses?"
Because the three worksheets share the same content in three different formats, you can spread them across the week: one for diagnosis, one for practice, and one for assessment, without repeating a single question.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Movement of Air Masses, Fronts and Weather Patterns, Reading Weather Maps, Predicting Weather Changes, Weather Station Lab, and Cloud Types and Indicators, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-ESS2-5.
