Students research weather patterns, predict the weather for a US city and write a weather forecast that be presented to the class. The forecast should explain their weather prediction and the weather patterns and conditions it is based on.

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

Ninth graders design and produce a business card as modeled in class using Corel Draw. They demonstrate proper care of airbrush equipment and use proper airbrush techniques with complete accuracy.

Students access the Internet and use real time data from the American Meteorological Society to create a detailed weather map. They make weather predictions based on the data collected.

Students are introduced to raptors and their role in the environment. They identify three characteristics of raptors and list several types of raptors found in nature. They discuss their positive and negative experiences with raptors and...

Students examine cloud types. In this cloud lesson, students identify cloud types, observe clouds and collect data, and analyze data to identify the most common cloud they observe overhead during the course of a month.

Students manipulate a model of a wave in order to solve the wave equation in 1 dimension. By using a model of a wave on a string the student is able to change the tension, length, and mass of the string as well as fix either end of the...

In this weather worksheet, students complete questions to a quiz about the weather. Students complete 5 questions in the weather quiz.

Students research the effects of day-to-day weather on animal migrations, plant growth and other seasonal events. They consult maps, observe and record local conditions, keep journals and use their collected data check hypotheses.

Young scholars work together to design and build a paper rocket. They place a propellant in the contraption to make it fly. They discover Newton's third law of motion.

In this algebra worksheet, students read the information about the relationships of functions and then they fill in the graphic organizer with the information at the bottom of the page.

Students explore the concepts of center of mass and static equilibrium by seeing how non-symmetrical objects balance. They also analyze why all forces on an object must cancel out exactly for an object to be stationary.

Pupils study the weather conditions before, during, and after cold front passage. Two cold front examples are provided so that comparisons can be made. They are divided in two large groups. Each group studies a different cold front case.

Students, in groups, investigage and demonstrate the science behind the development and characteristics of extreme heat.

Students will observe the amount of water in an open container over time and also examine the amount of water in a closed container over time. They then will compare and contrast the sets.

Students explore the states of water. In this water states lesson, students observe ice over time and the changes that take place. Students read a related text and draw their observations in a journal entry. Students discuss the...

Students investigate the factors affecting climate using Live Access Server. In this geography lesson, students graph atmospheric data using Excel spreadsheet. They compare and contrast temperature, precipitation and water vapor of two...

Activity demonstrates how heating air will cause air to rise and become a low-pressure area.

Many sports use a ball in some way or another. We throw them, dribble them, hit them, kick them, and they always bounce back. What makes a ball so bouncy? In this experiment you can investigate the effect of air pressure on ball bouncing.

This site explores air pressure and talks about high pressure. low pressure, and winter anticyclones.

How is air pollution affected by weather? Some types of pollution are worse in the summer heat, while others are worse in cold winter weather.

A tutorial that describes the five factors that determine the weather in a particular place and time. The factors discussed in this tutorial are air temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind, and precipitation. A PDF file of the tutorial...
