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.

Students discover the potential dangers of weather in their hometown.  In this environmental lesson, students research Hurricane Hugo and the devastation it caused South Carolina in 1989.  Students record weather data from...

Students explain ways that meteorologists measure and predict weather, collaborate on creating some weather measurement instruments and keep a weather journal for one week.

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.

Students prepare a classroom weathercast and present a broadcast.

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,...

Young scholars keep detailed weather records (temperature, wind direction, predipitation) during the fall migration of the monarch butterfly. They analyze their data and create a chart or graph depicting the data. Finally they relate the...

First graders study changes in daily weather conditions. They explore weather pattern consistency.

In this weather math activity, students will use weather.com to find the forecasted temperatures for their home town. Using data from the website, students will find the average highs and lows for their selected cities. Then students...

In this math worksheet, students record the high and low daily temperatures for their home city or another location. Students average the temperatures and make comparisons. As a bonus activity, students answer 3 questions after going to...

Students observe the sky and weather to gather data. They conduct experiments to answer questions about the sky and weather phenomena. They measure, analyze and present data. They create sky windows by gluing sky colored paint chips...

Young scholars investigate temperature using the TI. In this chemistry lesson, students analyze the change in temperature, as chemicals are dissolved in water. They analyze data collected using the CBL 2.

Students explore the field of meteorology. In this meteorology lesson, students explore weather-related careers as they research the field of study as well as various weather concepts. Students interview meteorologists, write business...

Students analyze line plots. For this weather lesson using real NASA data, students discuss how weather affects the way the Earth is heated by comparing different line plots.

Students design a chart to use to record the weather for five days. They then build an anemometer to record wind speed and discover why they are used for this purpose.

Students participate in a variety of mini-lessons including experiments, literature readings, physical education components, music, data gathering and recording and more to expose them to several themes of weather; i.e. water cycle,...

Students identify trends and characteristics of climate zones and specific places within. Then, they graph annual climate trends (primarily Temperature and Precipitation) and create, interpret and extrapolate information based on...

Students investigate the concepts of hurricanes and violent weather conditions. In this violent weather lesson, students access an Internet site and watch a video about how air masses behave, how a tornado forms, how hurricanes form, and...

Learners explore waves and wind. For this physical and earth science wave lesson, students participate in a wave making activity with an aquarium and a hair dryer. Learners complete a data chart recording wave height and related factors....

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...

Learners study weather using a graphing calculator in this lesson. They collect data for temperature and relative humidity for every hour over a day from the newspaper, then place the data in their handheld calculator and examine it for...

Students research weather instruments. In this weather lesson, students use the Global Climate DVD and take notes on weather instruments. Students answer multiple choice questions on a worksheet.

Students are introduced to the SWMP system which tracks short-and long-term changes in water. Using this data, they plot and interpret the data on a graph to determine how human activities are lowering the water quality. They also...

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students develop an understanding of probability by pulling marbles out of a bag and recording the data. Students use the recording sheet to discuss the results of...
