Curated OER
Weather Instrument Use and Application
Eighth graders measure temperature, wind speed and pressure using Skymaster SM-28. In this earth science lesson, 8th graders collect data and record observations taken from outdoors. They explain why numerical values are different in...
Curated OER
Clouds
Students study how to use the Internet as a static information collection tool, to enhance the literature stories on the weather and study how to use the calculator.
Curated OER
Evaporation
Students explain the process of evaporation using an activity that allows students to see the gradual disappearance of water.
Curated OER
Weather Log
Learners develop the skill of recording weather observations. Not only students be responsible for recording visual observations of the sky, but also collecting and recording weather instrument data.
Curated OER
Bubbles and Wind Currents
Students are introduced to wind and wind movement by observing, predicting, and experimenting with simple materials.
Curated OER
Winds Over Land vs. Ocean
Students explore friction and the way it impacts wind over the ocean compared to over land.
Curated OER
Bicycle Pump Pressure
Young scholars explain that air pressure applies a force. If any of students have flown in an airplane, they have felt the "popping" of their ears caused by the change in atmospheric pressure because of the altitude changes.
Curated OER
Movement of Fronts
Students use a demonstration in order to learn abou the movement of weather fronts.
Curated OER
Lightning Safety
Students investigate how lightning is produced and ways they can keep themselves safe during a lightning storm. After a lecture/demo, students use a worksheet imbedded in this plan to reinforce the concepts taught.
Curated OER
Newspaper Weather
Pupils use their knowledge of the weather to evaluate information from the newspaper. They also take this knowledge and construct a weather map predicting the next day's weather.
Curated OER
Testing the Accuracy of a Rain Gauge
Young scholars identify and test variables that may affect the accuracy of a rain gauge.
Curated OER
Introduction to Remote Sensing
Students view, discuss, and compare different types of maps produced from remote sensing data. They use image processing software to analyze and enhance sea surface temperature maps.
Curated OER
Precipitation
Learners write their own newspaper article about a weather story using newspapers and a weather records worksheet.
Curated OER
Understanding Cloud Formation
Students explore air and clouds by watching demonstration. They perform an experiment to measure air pressure changes.
Curated OER
Weather Myths
Fourth graders relate myths to weather phenomenon. They write and illustrated a weather myth and present it to the class.
Curated OER
Weather Records
Students write newspaper articles using a "weather record" worksheet and information they find in newspapers.
Curated OER
Fahrenheit vs Celsius
Students make a thermometer and write a paragraph about how they did it.
Curated OER
Health, Pollution, and Safety: Why Should We Care?
Students examine the impact of reducing the carbon dioxide emissions. They identify ways alternative fuels can lessen the effect of emissions on communities. Working in teams they conduct research from various community and Internet...
Curated OER
WEATHER SATELLITE PREDICTION PROJECT
Young scholars compile weather satellite data from three satellites for one month, obtain weather reports and data from professionals, then create a document with predicted results.
Curated OER
It's All In The Surface: The Effects Of Color & Texture On The Ability Of A Surface To Absorb Solar Energy
Ninth graders examine how dark surfaces absorb more light than light surfaces. They perform an experiment that compares various surfaces abilities to absorb heat, then record and analyze the results.
Curated OER
Will It Rain Today or Tomorrow?
Students examine how to forecast weather. They examine the different types of weather and learn the correct vocabulary.
Curated OER
The Water Cycle
Students research the water cycle and identify main vocabulary associated with the water cycle. They build and observe a closed system model that demonstrates the water cycle in action.
Curated OER
If Anyone Can, Icon
Students investigate the use of zip code/city searches to locate local weather forecasts. They design icons to be used on a classroom forecast poster.
Curated OER
Learning Lesson: Atmospheric Collisions
Students participate in a demonstration showing how rain drops grow by coalescence. They use ping pong balls and put them in an air stream. They end the lesson discussing flash flood safety.
