Students role play weather forecasting activities. They investigate weather forecasting processes such as equations, data analysis, announcing by role playing in a large lecture hall.

Learners read the story, Mira and then draw a picture of their favorite weather using the story as a background. They post their pictures around the room and make a tally chart of the number of pictures that were drawn with various...

Fourth graders study physical and chemical weathering. They explain how the processes of weathering and erosion change and move materials that become soil. They create a K-W-L chart to show what they know and list what else they would...

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 create images that convey how the weather makes them feel. As a class, students discuss the way weather can effect their mood. After reading several passages describing the weather, students use vivid descriptions and...

Fifth graders study air pressure and learn how it can change the weather. In this air pressure lesson, 5th graders study the given diagrams and complete the experiments to learn how air pressure can change the weather. Students read...

Learners interview Native Indians to learn their ways for predicting and measuring snowfall. In this weather measurement lesson, students invite a Native Elder to their classroom to tell them about how they predicted weather. Learners...

Learners study and observe types of sea ice found in Alaska. In this sea ice lesson, students use the student network for observing weather to study the different types of sea ice. Learners study sea ice depicted in Alaskan art.

Students compare the weathering of materials. in this weathering lesson, students experiment with the chemical and physical weathering of different materials. Students use salt and water as an example of how weathering occurs.

Second graders explore how seasonal weather patterns affect temperature and their lives.

Students 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...

Learners examine the hydrologic impacts of drought. They look at drought from a variety of prespectives. Students first focus on the scientific definition of drought, including weather patterns, water cycles, water requirements by plants...

Students build windmills and weather vanes. In this instructional activity on air, students build wind vanes and windmills to demonstrate that air moves. Students determine the direction of air movement and measure the speed at which it...

Students explore season change. In this season change lesson ,students investigate weather events, Earth's movement and celestial events. Students watch videos and list weather events that happen in winter, spring, summer, and fall....

Learners discuss dangerous weather. In this science lesson, students decide on which state they want to research and check the Internet for the dangerous weather in that state. Learners determine which weather hazard was the most...

Second graders conduct experiments with rocks to observe weathering. They read books, examine websites and watch a video to examine how rocks break down into soil.

In this decision making worksheet, students complete 5 problems in which clues to the daily weather are read and appropriate clothing is chosen. Temperatures are in degrees Fahrenheit.

In this ESL activity worksheet, students consider cultural differences and similarities as they read a paragraph and find its text in the word maze.

Students compare the weathering of different-sized materials. Comparisons are made and data analyzed to reach conclusions about the process of weathering. Applications can be made for the higher grades.

Second graders discuss various ways in which landforms change over time. They, in groups, research and create a reference book about landform change including tsunamis, earthquakes, weathering, erosion and volcanic eruptions.

Students examine the differences between weathering, erosion, and deposition as it pertains to mountains.

Fifth graders are introduced to the concepts of weathering and erosion. In groups, they rotate between different stations to discover how each process effects different landforms. To end the lesson, they discuss each change in the...
