Young scholars view animations of several atmospheric variables (e.g., temperature, rainfall) during a cold front passage and locate the dryline, determine its direction of movement, and list at least two weather conditions associated...

Learners explore climate and weather conditions. Using the Internet, and other activities, students examine climate maps and the factors that affect climate. They examine how climate affects clothes, shelter, food, transportation,...

Second graders explore Earth science by participating in a nature observation activity. In this four seasons lesson, 2nd graders identify the four seasons on Earth and the weather patterns they are known for. Students read several books...

Fifth graders participate in a WebQuest that introduces them to a study on clouds and how they relate to weather systems.

Fifth graders study the weather and water cycle of clouds. In this water cycle lesson, 5th graders read background information about evaporation, condensation, and the states of water.

Students use string, wire, weights, and a stopwatch to build pendulum clocks. In this pendulum clocks lesson plan, students use the pendulum clocks to investigate weather, climate, force, and motion.

Young scholars locate Lake Mead, then read a news article about Lake Mead drying up and how that would effect water and power supplies to the region. In this current events lesson, the teacher introduces the article with a map and...

Upper elementary meteorologists take a glance at what a hurricane is and how it is formed. Because this does not get into the differences in air pressure that drive the associated winds, it may not be useful for older learners. The...

High schoolers keep detailed weather records during the fall migration. If they are also Observing Fall Migrants, they will be able to compare weather conditions on days that they do and do not see monarchs. Having a class record of...

High schoolers keep a detailed record of weather patterns during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. The use of weather reports is used to form a class data sheet. This lesson connects to the skills of graphing and critical...

In this weather worksheet, students will determine what a meteorologist is and the ways scientists are currently experimenting with to control the weather. This worksheet has 4 short answer questions.

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.

Students develop three mathematical models regarding wind-chill, and examine the variation of wind-chill on a ground level weather map.

Students use Europe in the Round software to investigate terrain of Eastern England and Western Netherlands, establish that both have areas of low- lying, flat land below sea level, and discuss cause and effects of extreme weather...

In this cold quiz worksheet, students complete a six question multiple choice on-line interactive quiz about cold places and cold weather.

Students discover the properties of wind. They name as many wind words as they can. (breezy, windy, blustery, gust, tornado, hurricane, stormy, etc.) and use vocabulary, movement, and props to illustrate winter weather concepts such as...

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 discuss the characteristics of the biosphere, with a focus on the Tibetan Plateau. They participate in a question and answer period discussing biomes and climate patterns. They compare and contrast different ecosystems.

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.

Students examine how to locate and access data sets.  In this climate change lesson students import data into Excel and graph it.   

Third graders hear and use the terms: el verano, la primavera, el invierno y el oto¿¿o. They review particular months in Spanish. Students explore the difference in connections between months and seasons in northern and southern...

Students examine the differences between an El Nino and La Nina year.  In this investigative lesson students create maps and graphs of the data they obtained.
