In this seasons worksheet, students will write or draw what the weather is like during each of the 4 seasons in this graphic organizer.
Curated OER
Weather Tracking
In this weather tracking worksheet, students track their local weather for 4 days. First, they track their local weather for a few days. Then, students record the forecast for a few days to see how close the actual weather conditions...
Curated OER
Sunlight & Soil
In this earth science worksheet on sunlight and soil, students use data collected in a chart to construct two graphs. Following, they answer five questions as they relate to the experiment performed.
Curated OER
Specific Heat and Insulation
Students measure the air and soil temperatures at designated times. They graph the temperatures of each on one piece of graph paper with different colors. Students compare the information for the two line plots and analyze their results...
Curated OER
Accurately Measure Body Temperature
Students in an occupational health careers classroom review and practice finding temperature using a thermometer. They practice converting Celsius to Fahrenheit and from Fahrenheit to Celsius. They take each other's temperature and...
Curated OER
Behavior Of Substances At Different Temperatures
Fourth graders are involved in a lab experience to look at the concept of heating up various materials to see how they react to an increase in temperature. They make observations and record them in a lab journal. Then students discuss...
Curated OER
Heat Energy- Temperature
Second graders investigate the meaning of temperature. They determine what happens to a thermometer when the temperature rises or falls. They place thermometers in different classroom locations in order to compare the temperature in a...
Curated OER
Global Temperatures
Students analyze the global temperature record from 1867 to the present. Long-term trends and shorter-term fluctuations are both evaluated. The data is examined for evidence of the impact of natural and anthropogenic climate forcing...
Curated OER
Experimenting with Pressure and Volume
Students investigate temperature and pressure with simple laboratory equipment. They use a handheld with sensors and probes to study temperature and pressure. Students explore the nature of gases with respect to temperature and are able...
Curated OER
Graphing Temperatures
Students identify current temperatures for different regions of the United States. Using current information, they develop hypothesis for the temperature in the same region tomorrow. They use the Weather Channel website to find actual...
Curated OER
Temperature School
Students observ the cooling and warming of room temperature, hot, and ice cold cans of water by measuring the change in temperature over time. They then attempt to develop explanations for the observations made and apply their findings...
Curated OER
Weather Conditions During the Spring Monarch Migration
Young scholars keep detailed weather records during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. To keep track of the weather, students utilyze weather reports and instuments such as anemometers, compasses, thermometers and rain gauges.
Curated OER
The Ups and Downs of It: Wind
Learners explore the ways in which wind is formed and how it affects our weather.
Curated OER
Ecosystems: What Are They and How Do They Work?
Learners explore the characteristics of major ecosystems, the interactions of the organisms within the systems, and the effects of humans on the system. Both living and non-living components are examined in this five lesson unit.
Curated OER
Heating the Atmosphere
Students construct a thermograph for maximum and minimum temperatures for the 2-week period. They illustrate how the earth's atmosphere is heated by convection and conduction currents and evaporation of water.
Curated OER
Air Temperature and Kinetic Energy
Students use a NASA website do activities which help them better explain how air temperature and kinetic energy are related to aircraft propulsion.
Curated OER
The Urban Heat Island Effect - Lesson 2 (Grades 8-9)
Students use the scientific process to show that when various surfaces are exposed to similar environmental conditions, surface temperatures may vary. They examine the "urban heat island" phenomenon and analyze why it increases energy...
Curated OER
Standard Deviation
Students find city temperatures and analyze their means to find the standard deviation. They calculate the standard deviation of monthly temperature means.
Curated OER
Weather
Students describe the weather and temperature in the city, state, and/or country in which they live during the 4 seasons.
Curated OER
Weather
Learners participate in a variety of mini-lessons including experiments, literature readings, physical education components, music, data gathering and recording and more to expose them to several themes of weather; i.e. water cycle,...
Curated OER
School Temperatures
Students collect and record temperatures throughout the school. Using this information they compare and contrast the temperatures recorded from various spots throughout the school.
Curated OER
Remove Pollutants from Water
Students examine how to remove pollutants from water to create clean water. In this boiling water lesson students complete a lab activity that purifies water.
Curated OER
What is Temperature and How Is It Measured?
Students complete activities to measure temperature. In this temperature instructional activity, students read Geoffrey Groundhog Predicts the Weather and make a KWL chart about predicting weather. Students discuss folklore about...
Curated OER
Problem-Solving Application: Use Temperature: Reteach
In this temperature learning exercise, students solve 3 word problems based on a model of information about a day's temperature. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.
