Help your students build real understanding of patterns to explain altitude based through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how science works.
Among the ninety questions, students will see prompts such as "How does temperature change as you move higher in the atmosphere?", "What happens to the visibility on high mountains during a temperature inversion?", and "As altitude increases, what happens to the density of the air?"
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 standards aligned science unit. The unit also covers Air as a Mixture of Gases, Identifying Components of Air by Role, Observing and Describing Atmospheric, Atmospheric Data for Conditions, How the Atmosphere Changes, and Thermal Energy and Air Movement, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6 science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to Virginia SOL standard 6.7.c.
