Students explore types of weather. In this weather lesson, students create a weather journal that houses different types of weather. Students write the definition and a summary for each weather type. 

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

Students illustrate characteristics of the different seasons using digital and pen and paper drawings. They creat captions for their drawings and present them to the class. Students compare and contrast their pen and paper drawing...

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.

Students explore the formation of clouds and different cloud types. Students simulate a cloud formation within a bottle.

Students describe and compare the layers of the atmosphere. They explain how to measure the temperature of the atmosphere. They also explain what causes the atmosphere to heat up in some places more than in others.

On August 30, 2004, Richmond, Virginia received 11 inches of rain in five hours! Here is a collection of 38 photographs displaying the ensuing damage. Whereas these slides are extremely fascinating, the only educational value would be in...

What's the difference between an accent and a dialect? Examine the difference between the two with your scholars. In groups, they compile a dialect dictionary. They interview adults to gather information about accents and ethnic words....

Junior geologists, hydrologists, or meteorologists simulate what happens during the flooding of a river and demonstrate factors that contribute to flash flooding. This outstanding resource provides a vocabulary list, online resources,...

Take a virtual field trip into the eye of a hurricane. Through a series of websites, mini-meteorologists discover the anatomy of a hurricane and how one is formed. Add some excitement to your atmosphere curriculum by exploring this form...

Students participate in a discussion of the sky and colors. They watch a demonstration of how colors can change. They examine the issue of if weather should be a part of their coursework.

Students explore basic Excel spreadsheets.  For this spreadsheet lesson plan, students enter Alaska weather information and  perform calculations. Students title the columns on the spreadsheet and format the cells. ...

Students investigate the climate of their region. Students research statistics and conduct interviews. Students take a virtual tour of Ghana and discuss its climate. Students consider water conservation and the role it plays in both...

Engage in an 8-day study of different modes of transportation. Your students explore the concept of location and define the physical characteristics of places, such as, land forms, bodies of water, natural resources, and weather.

Learners observe a daily paper to see the temperature forecast looking at a paper thermometer with today's predicted temperature colored in. They predict today's temperature, and paste the second color on the same thermometer to show...

Students design and use a barometer to study air pressure. For this weather lesson, students identify the causes of air pressure. They design and use a barometer to determine how air pressure relates to air temperature and weather...

Middle schoolers use a thermometer to record temperatures from their homes throughout the city, and then hypothesize reasons for the temperature variations. They use a weather graph worksheet that's imbedded in this lesson to orgainize...

Students explore the different arrangement of air molecules in high and low air pressure masses. They compare the temperature of high and low pressure masses and discover how a barometer works.

Students describe and compare the layers of the atmosphere. They explain how to measure the temperature of the atmosphere and discover what causes the atmosphere to heat up in some places more than in others.

Students examine the different types of clouds and how they form. They are to create their own weather forecast based on their observations of clouds in their area. Questions are asked for comprehension to end the lesson.

Fourth graders investigate the causes of erosion. Through several demonstrations including one using sugar cubes and warm water, they observe the effects of erosion. In groups, 4th graders conduct similar experiments and record their...

Students study the characteristics of thunderstorms. They view an animation of radar reflectivity that depicts a thunderstorm and its outflow to locate the thunderstorm's outflow. Afterward, they explain what physical process occurs in a...

Students make a box and whiskers plot using the TI-73 graphing calculator. Each student would have their own calculator but they would work in small groups of two or three to help each other enter the data and make the plots.

Students use weather measuring devices to record and study weather conditions at different locations, during different times. They attempt to draw conclusions about the relationship between weather conditions, lunar cycle and fishing...
