Why Does Weather Occur?
In this weather worksheet, students will compare and contrast the differences between warm air masses and cold air masses and how these influence the weather patterns.
Curated OER
Particulate Matter
Young scholars gather air samples using a particulate air monitoring card. They investigate the variable that influence the amount of particles that they collect.

Coal and The Kentucky Economy
Students read about and study what an economy is. Students then answer questions that require them to define what an economy is and list the components of a healthy economy. Students also list two ways that coal helps the Kentucky...
Curated OER
Glow With the Flow
High schoolers investigate the force of drag and how NASA engineers use models and glowing paints to examine how air flows over vehicles in a wind tunnel. They discover how the blended wing body will affect air travelers of the future.
Curated OER
I Need Room to Breathe
Seventh graders explore how exercise affects carbon dioxide levels in exhaled air.
Curated OER
Energy Transfer
Students investigate the properties of heated air. They make predictions about what they think makes the wind blow on a worksheet, and conduct two experiments to demonstrate the properties of heated air. Students heat a bottle until a...
Curated OER
What is Temperature?
Young scholars study the effects of temperature and air expansion. In this temperature lesson, students discuss temperature and participate in a role play of low energy and high energy molecules. Young scholars then discuss their...
Curated OER
Convection Activities
Learners conduct a series of hands-on activities to demonstrate that heated air expands and that warm air rises because it is less dense.
Curated OER
Have a Ball with Bernoulli
Third graders investigate Bernoulli's Principle. In this Bernoulli's Principle lesson, 3rd graders examine blowing air through a tube and the movement of the ball. Students make inquiries into what effect the air has on the ball and...
Curated OER
Land and Sea Breezes
For this specific heat worksheet, students read about the land and sea breezes along the coast and how the specific heat of the air cause the differences in land and sea air creating breezes. Students answer three critical thinking...
Curated OER
The Tropopause
In this tropopause worksheet, students read about the temperature of the air in the tropopause or the layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth. They answer four critical thinking questions about this layer and the energy changes that...
Curated OER
Honors Chemistry Ideal Gas Law
In this ideal gas law worksheet, students are given a problem to solve using a hot air balloon. They are given the volume, mass, temperature of the air inside the balloon and the temperature outside the balloon. They determine if the...
Curated OER
What's Up With Updrafts?
Students demonstrate how hail and rain are suspended in the air during a storm. In this lesson on storms and weather, students use a hair dryer and ping pong ball to demonstrate how hail and rain can be suspended in the air during a storm.
Curated OER
In the Public's Eyes
Students examine the views of Serb and American civilians on the sustained NATO air strikes on Serbia and focus on how public opinion affects and reflects the overall morale and attitudes in a country.
Curated OER
Landscaping and Urban Forestry - Lesson 4 (Grades 5-6)
Students discuss reasons to plant trees and the best locations for cooling. They analyze two homes identifying types and locations of trees, and location of the central air conditioners. The benefits of shade, the process of...
Curated OER
Landscaping And Urban Forestry - Lesson 4 (Grades 8-9)
Learners discuss reasons to plant trees and the best locations for cooling. They study two homes and identify types and locations of trees and determine the placement of the central air conditioners. The class plans a landscape design...
Curated OER
Building a Psychrometer
Students create psychrometers to measure the humidity of the air. In this meteorology lesson, students make a wet-bulb thermomter and place it next to a dry-bulb thermometer to measure the relative humidity in the room.
Curated OER
Bernoulli's Principle and Winged Flight
Third graders study Bernoulli's Principle and Winged Flight. For this biology lesson plan, 3rd graders to see how the decrease in air pressure which occurs when air is moving allows birds to fly.
Curated OER
Watch Me Grow
Learners observe that plants need air, food, light, and water to survive. In this plant biology instructional activity, students observe the growth and development of two plants, one is the control plant and the other is denied either...
Curated OER
How Big is a Breath?
Students demonstrate how to use math skills to measure their lung capacity. In this human biology lesson plan, students use a clear plastic container, measuring cup and rubber balloons to demonstrate how the lungs work. Students estimate...
Curated OER
Asthma
Learners experience what it feels like to strain for air in order to empathize with people who have asthma. They create a simple model of the respiratory system to measure the effect of narrowed airway channels.
Curated OER
The Urban Heat Island Effect - Lesson 2 (Grade 5)
Fifth graders use the scientific process to examine how when various surfaces are exposed to similar environmental conditions, surface temperatures may vary. They conduct an experiment to show the relationship between surface and...
Curated OER
Temperature in the Sun or Shade of the Desert
Third graders use thermometers to measure the air temperature in several
places around the school and then return to the classroom to record the data. They create a bar graph and discuss their findings about the air temperature in the...
