Meteorology Teacher Resources

Students explore meteorology, discuss Earth's atmosphere, create drawings of the water cycle, create meteorology journals, and role play forecasters. Nine lessons on one page; includes unit test.

Take your class on an intergalactic journey as they explore the galaxy and various meteorological events taking place in our atmosphere each day. Learners investigate electromagnetic waves and the Doppler Effect before gathering radar...

Here is a unique presentation that's on Earth Science. In it, learners see that Earth Science is a science made up of four main categories: Geology, Astronomy, Meteorology, and Oceanography. Pupils are assigned a task. They must find two...

Are you looking to incorporate an element of science in your french classroom? Test your francophone scientists on their knowledge of meteorological terms in French. Create note cards with pictures and definitions to increase vocabulary...

From warm summer days to cold winter nights, this 10-lesson unit takes children on an exploration of seasons. Using the included reading passages and images, a series of read-aloud lessons and vocabulary activities provide young children...

Looking for a fine series of lessons on weather? These lessons are for you! Here, learners cover topics such as the hydrologic cycle, clouds, the atmosphere, air movement, weather fronts, and forecasting the weather. They engage in quite...

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...

Learners explain and define the term, 'meteorology.' They examine the causes of the weather, explain how we forecast the weather and play a game which highlights why it rains.

Support science instruction with a combination of engaging activities and skills-based worksheets that focus on clouds. Learners take part in grand discussions, write an acrostic poem, complete graphic organizers, solve word puzzles, and...

It's an ocean rescue mission! Groups must find a pilot downed off the coast of the Chesapeake Bay. Rescuers must determine the distance needed to travel as well as the heading to get to the pilot's last known position. Taking into...

See how estimation is essential to making temperature weather maps. Scholars use ratios and rates of change to estimate temperatures at locations where temperature readings have not been made. They connect this idea to linear functions.

Students identify basic weather instruments and how they are used to record weather data. Students define several vocabulary terms as stated in instructional activity. Students use basic instruments to record weather data in their area....

Students explore weather terminology and the jobs that are associated with it.  In this weather lesson plan students write about thunderstorms and make a tornado. 

Test your learners' science and/or reading comprehension skills with this activity, which provides a page of information about clouds and cloud classification. Both an earth science teacher and a language arts teacher could use this...

Have you ever wondered how clouds float in the sky, or why they seem to change so much in just a few minutes. Watch a short video about the way clouds are identified and named, and how they are affected by the Earth's conditions.

A reading comprehension passage is illustrative for both language arts and earth science skills. Using context clues, learners find out how to predict the weather using various tools. They then answer five reading questions about what...

Concise, yet complete, this set of seven slides describes with photos and text the different basic instruments for measuring weather factors. After viewing, young meteorologists will be able to talk about how to measure humidity, wind...

Students study basic meteorology concepts. They build a simple barometer to measure air pressure. They explore the concepts of relative humidity, air convection currents and temperature inversions and to discover their connection to...

This extensive chapter gives learners a new angle on that old geometry favorite, trigonometry. From the unit circle to right triangles, the role of trigonometric ratios is explored through explanation of theory and working application...

Students discover what meteorology is and they participate in the daily activities of meteorologists, observing the weather and recording their findings.  Students also create weather instruments from household objects to help with their...

Fourth graders explore the design and workings of meteorology through this unit of nine lessons. The interactions of Earth's systems, its structure, and its dynamic changes are probed.

Students describe how the sun heats the Earth, explain the nature of infrared light, explain how thunderstorms are formed and use infrared maps to predict severe weather.

Students explore the limitations of weather forecasting and how consumer-driven weather forecasting companies attempt to meet the demand for accurate, long-term weather forecasting. They act as meteorologists, researching the weather.

Students develop a basic understanding of meteorology and related earth science topics, reinforce geographical knowledge, and build analytical and communications skills through class presentations. They create their own website on...
