Students engage in this weather predicting lesson. They discover instrumentation used in the meteorological science. With this knowledge, they will create their own "low-tech" versions of weather instrumentation such as thermometers,...

Students investigate concepts of weather using a guided, essential question. They collect data from satellite weather images and create models to track the progress of weather changes.

Young scholars use the information they wrote about on the topic they chose in studying About Weather. They then write a short story using the information choosing a theme, setting, characters, and the plot.

Students decide what type of weather they would like to write about such as tornadoes, hurricanes, snow, hail, floods, or another type of weather. Then, they look up the information and jot down notes about that particular subject....

Fourth graders identify the four kinds of violent storms. Using photographs, they create "eye spy" questions for each and mount them on construction paper. They write a brief summary for each photo and share the questions with the class...

First graders discover how clouds are formed and how they affect weather. After being read a book, they place air into a Ziploc bag and place it in the freezer. They discuss the results and take a walk outside to observe real clouds.

Fifth graders explore weather forecasting. For a week, 5th graders observe weekly weather forcasts on different television channels. They predict which station is more accurate with their predictions. Students record and chart...

Students explore the concepts of weather. They investigate lightening formation, construct weather maps and evaluate weather monitoring equipment. Students examine careers related to meteorology.

Students are read the story "Snowballs" and discuss what the conditions must be for it to snow. They make snowmen out of snow when it snows outside. They discover what happens to their snowmen when they take them inside.

Learners create a daily weather forecast including present temperature, high temperature, moon phase, sky watch, and occasional special reports dealing with weather phenomenon.

Fourth graders explore the components of a weather map, mark cities on the map and place the appropriate temperatures and weather conditions occurring in the cities on the weather map created.

Students predict the location where the relative humidity the highest and lowest in and around their school. They use a sling psychrometer to measure the relative humidity of the various locations.

Young scholars choose a school in their state to compare their weather to. They also describe the differences between country, state, and a city. They can make flashcards to help them remember the important terms and concepts.

Eighth graders gather information on hurricanes that are affecting the world at the time of the instructional activity. They work together in groups to collect the data and record their information in a table. They are asked questions to...

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.

Students examine what happens when air temperature drops and gets closer to the dewpoint. They perform a lab activity which illustrates the effects on humidity, precipitation and barometric air pressure.

Students listen to information presented about clouds. Then students determine the three main types of clouds, and how they are alike and different. They draw cirrus, stratus and cumulus clouds.

Students record the daily outdoor temperature as well as the number of minutes of sunlight per day over a determined period. They calculate the average temperature and minutes of sunlight per day and post their data on the project website.

Students download data reported from the Global Sun Temperature Project website. They graph and analyze the data looking for trends and patterns. They prepare a class report with their observations and post it to the website.

Learners reflect on the data they have analyzed during the Global Sun Temperature Project. They use the project website as a resource for their observations, draft a class report and post it on the Internet.

Students select at least 6 cities from around the world to keep track of their high and low temperatures over a period of time.

Fourth graders interpret the weather data they gathered in Investigation 6. They take an average of each component in each season. They compare the same components of each season and write the differences they see between the seasons.

Fourth graders collect data for two weeks. They start seeing patterns and make predictions. They can predict what the weather be like the next day and for the next few days. They see if their predictions were correct from the previous day.

Fourth graders examine severe weather in Utah. They utilize a variety of sources; websites, newspapers, TV coverage and perform research to study the severe weather patterns ffound in Utah.
