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.

Students make a model of the four layers of Earth's atmosphere that represents the characteristics of each layer.

Students import atmospheric data from the internet. In this earth science lesson, students graph the data they collected. They complete the worksheet after the activity.

In this radiation worksheet, students compare the efficiency of planetary atmospheres to shielding from radiation. This worksheet has 2 problems to solve.

Students comprehend how Dicken's set piece on snobbery. They discuss how Lean uses costume, actors' non-verbal communcication and props to convey Victorian class customs, distinctions, and snobbery. Students are shown "The Jolly Bargee"...

Third graders investigate how water is released from different plants into the atmosphere. They observe and investigate two types of plants with domed lids with condensation and communicate those observances and inquiries on an in-class...

Fourth graders discover earth's air pressure through observation of several experiments. In the "Experiment of the Leaky Bottle," they observe how air pressure forces water out of the lowest hole farther than the holes above it. In...

Learners perform experiments to explore differences in wind speed and forest density. Through experimentation and observation, students realize that changes in vegetation affect the atmosphere and wind conditions. They create a model...

Sixth graders are engaged in learning about weather systems, weather patterns and how to create a local forecast through a KCTS video called: "How Do They "Whether" the Weather?" Students actively learn how movements in atmosphere are...

Learners explore climate change, its impacts and possible solutions. They play a television-style quiz challenge game. Students discuss the topics pertaining to global, local, and personal solutions to climate changes.

Students explore the planets and their atmospheres online. They write the story of "Goldilocks and the Nine Planets" to explain how each planet's atmosphere differs from Earth's. They design a viable life form.

Students create a model of a column of air and discover one of the reasons why low and high pressure systems exist and why low pressure is often associated with bad weather.

Fourth graders conduct an experiment to get them thinking about the invisibility of air, and to prove that air has weight.

Students use foam packing pieces to represent molecular positioning inside the four layers of earth's atmosphere. This lesson help students visualize that molecules become thinner as one ascends higher in the atmosphere.
