Fourth graders watch a video about Utah's weather and illustrate the water cycle. They read "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and identify weather words after listening to the weather radio. They create weather measurement instruments...

Students read a story and use sentence strips to order story events.  In this sequencing lesson plan, students learn new vocabulary words centered around the story Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, preview the story, make...

First graders discover how clouds are formed and how they affect weather. After being read a book, they place air into a Ziploc bag and place it in the freezer. They discuss the results and take a walk outside to observe real clouds.

Students explore air and clouds by watching demonstration. They perform an experiment to measure air pressure changes.

My forecast is that you'll want to use the resource. Pupils design and create a weather bot as part of a project-based unit. These bots should be able to measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and...

Students graph the upwelling and downwelling of shortwave radiation. They create a data table with the information. Students compute the Watts per square meter. They discuss their results and whether or not cloud type affects daily...

Students record weather observations and research online weather data. In this weather observations lesson, students study the cloud cover for several days and record their observations in a chart. Students identify the cloud types and...

Students research and create a slide show in order to classify clouds as transparent, translucent, or opaque.

Fourth graders investigate the different types of precipitation and conduct a hail experiment. They identify the types of precipitation during a slideshow, and define key vocabulary terms. Next, in small groups they follow the...

Students examine different types of extreme weather and how to prepare for them. In this weather lesson students explore different types of extreme weather and create disaster preparation posters for different types of extreme weather.

Students probe the dynamic weather changes through several hands-0n activities in this seven lessons unit. The hydrologic cycle, clouds, atmosphere, air movement, fronts, and forecasting form the components presented in this unit.

Students identify clouds outdoors using a cloud chart and then draw the types they observe. They read the poem, "Fog" by Carl Sandburg and then compose their own cloud poem using various styles of poetry.

Students explore different types of weather and examine the elements in the sky that create weather. They create a class lift of weather words and examine and discuss a weather poster. Students then complete the "What's the Weather?"...

Ninth graders utilize several different types of maps to forecast weather conditions specific areas of the country. Air masses, wind, cloud types, fronts, and the pH of the rain is explored in this lesson.

In weather worksheet, students use an on line site to collect weather data. They create 10 different weather scenarios using a temperature and humidity slider. They includethe temperature, relative humidity and weather conditions and...

In this Earth's atmosphere worksheet, students match 8 terms about the layers of the atmosphere and the components of the atmosphere with their definitions. They complete 5 sentences with the proper terms about the air of the atmosphere...

Have your young scientists explore a single element of the water cycle and write a report to explain findings. Your class can take their writing through all the steps of the writing process and publish it using a Web-based multimedia...

In this weather instructional activity, learners conduct an experiment where they record the weather observations for a week. Then they determine the air pressure using an aneroid barometer and estimate the amount of sky covered by...

Learners simulate the movement of cold and warm fronts as they listen to a story about the weather and Mr. Sun. They brainstorm the characteristics of each type of front then write about which front they would prefer if they were a...

Students describe the day's weather and observe their responses as they are written on the board. They brainstorm all different types of weather and how differences in weather determine what types of clothing we wear to school each day....

In this energy worksheet, students complete a chart on the three types of heat transfer and their causes. Then they explain why all of the radiation directed at Earth does not reach the surface. Students also explain the factors in the...

In this Earth's environment worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle given 35 clues about a variety of topics related to our Earth. Topics include ecosystems, precipitation, biomes, energy transfer, soil, weathering and rocks.

The 3 steps of the water cycle, evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, are the focus of this lesson. After a neat demonstration of rain using hot water, a pie tin, and ice cubes, young scientists observe and discuss the elements...

Students create graphs showing the amount of snow coverage at various points of latitude and compare graphs.
