Provided by the National Weather Service, a chart showing current temperature, wind (mph) and the air temperature with the wind chill. Shows the calculation for wind chill at the bottom of the chart and provides a wind chill calculator.

Students investigate the effects of air temperature on seed germination by preparing seeds for germination and placing them in locations of varying temperatures. Students will monitor and record data concerning the temperatures and...

Find out how scientists measure the air temperature to accurately report the weather.

In the following lesson for learners grades 3-5 students observe how changing the temperature affects a small amount of air inside of a bubble. Student sheets are provided in English and in Spanish.

An air mass forms when the air over a large region of Earth sits in one place for many days. The air gradually takes on the characteristics of the land or water below it. Where Earth's surface is cold, the air becomes cold. Where Earth's...

Is an inversion layer trapping the pollution in CO City? Control the growth of CO city and the time of day, investigate air mixing and air temperature to see how pollution can get trapped.

There are several factors that affect air temperature as highlighted in this text.

Students develop their understanding of air convection currents and temperature inversions by constructing and observing simple models.

Students are introduced to the concept of air quality by investigating the composition, properties, atmospheric layers and everyday importance of air. They explore the sources and effects of visible and invisible air pollution. By...

What are air masses and where do they originate? What happens to the weather along fronts? Learn about warm and cold fronts and different types of advection. Maps and animated illustrations make these topics easier to comprehend.

Students are introduced to the health risks caused by cooking and heating with inefficient cook stoves inside homes, a common practice in rural developing communities. Students simulate the cook stove scenario and use the engineering...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Summarizes the key points about atmospheric processes involving air pressure, air density, and temperature. Includes a few questions to check for understanding.

Using data from the USA TODAY graphic,"Humidity makes air feel even hotter," students will explore quadratic and cubic functions to determine how well they model the relationship between air temperature and heat index. When the models...

Using data from the USA TODAY graphic "Humidity makes air feel hotter" students will explore linear functions to determine how well they model the relationship between air temperature and heat index. When the model has been determined...

The difference between heat and temperature is explained, followed by a discussion of temperature and its relation to global climate change. Gallileo Galilee, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, Anders Celsius, and Carl Linnaeus are mentioned in...

An experiment to see how the temperature of an object affects how high it bounces. This site contains web links and notes for the teacher.

Students note the range of heat indexes on the overall data as well as specific humidity levels and air temperatures. They find the mean and median of the ranges and calculate apparent temperatures for specific scenarios.

In this hands-on activity, students explore how temperature affects the behavior of air molecules.

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.

An experiment that demonstrates why there are clouds in the sky. Start with air, invisible water vapor, particles we call condensation nuclei, and air pressure...the cloud comes later!

Investigate the relationship among humidity, air temperature, and the heat index while learning about modeling data, evaluating functions, and describing the end behavior of a function. Students will use graphing calculator technology to...

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...

Relating Temperature to Atmospheric Pressure by using the CBL 2 unit and the temperature probe in relation to the gas pressure probe.

Explore the properties of air, and what happens to air when heated and cooled.
