Vocabulary

This worksheet introduces students to four key tornado-related terms and asks them to match each term with its correct definition. Learners must carefully read and analyze each definition to determine which vocabulary word it describes. This activity helps students strengthen their scientific vocabulary and gain foundational knowledge about tornado structure and behavior. After completing the matching, students write a sentence explaining how each term connects to tornado formation, reinforcing comprehension and application.
