Students practice trends forecasting to predict the weather. In this forecasting lesson plan, students learn how meteorologists predict the weather by looking at weather trends. They then predict their own forecast, analyze the results,...

Students recognize the elements of an analog weather forecast.  In this weather forecasting lesson, students use a website and look for trends, persistence and climatology in weather forecasting.  Students complete a...

Students interview an Elder to determine ways of forecasting the weather.  In this weather lesson, students use the information from an interview to make a weather prediction.

Students recognize the three main types of clouds. In this clouds lesson, students create a cloud mobile to understand clouds.

Students explore clouds.  In this weather lesson plan, students identify the steps in the water cycle, define condensation and evaporation, and relate this information to cloud formation.  Students perform a cloud experiment,...

Students explore objects before and after heating using their senses.  In this matter and energy lesson, students experiment with a variety of objects and use their senses (except taste) to make predictions and record observations...

Students measure humidity in the classroom. In this weather lesson, students use a psychrometer to measure the humidity in the classroom. Students complete a lab packet.

Third graders examine the life cycle of a salamander. In this life cycles lesson, 3rd graders view a PowerPoint presentation about the life cycle of a salamander. Students take the temperature of a toy salamander with a thermometer and...
