Students examine the factors that influence hurricanes to develop.  In this hurricane lesson students research atmospheric trends that affect hurricanes and create a summary.

Convection is offered as the reason behind our weather phenomena. This presentation assumes that viewers are familiar with the methods of heat transfer, and is therefore more geared toward middle-school meteorologists. The focus is on...

Students examine cold, warm, and stationary fronts. They also examine the roles of relative humidity and the way air masses move. They are to create forecasts based on the information they collect. Tapes are shared with the class.

In this climate worksheet, students read 4 statements about different causes of climate patterns or weather changes. Students write in the effect of these causes in this graphic organizer.

Young scholars are given maps depicting two or more air masses and they then categorize bodies of air by temperature and moisture characteristics. They recognize large regions of similar type air. Students are given a map of air...

Students use a set of maps depicting a front passing through the state to identify two distinct air masses and the frontal boundary. They then deterine whether the front is moving in time and in what direction the front is moving.

Pupils identify two distinct air masses and the frontal boundary and determine whether the front is moving in time and in what direction the front is moving.

In this weather worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by writing in the different types of air masses and what types of weather are created by these different air masses.

In this weather worksheet, students will match 4 weather terms to their correct definition. Vocabulary words include wind, weather, air mass, and front. Then students will complete 3 short answer questions based on high and low air...

Learn all about wind, what it is, words used to describe wind, the different types, the coriolis effect, different types of breezes, and how wind is measured.

A very detailed description of air masses, how they move and interact, and what weather takes place when this happens.
