Students explore how and why local convective, possibly severe, storms develop. They examine how hailstones form and the conditions under which they form. They test mock hailstones of varying sizes to investigate the impact and damage...

High schoolers describe and compare the layers of the atmosphere. They explain how to measure the temperature of the atmosphere and discover what causes the atmosphere to heat up in some places more than in others.

Students identify the elements that make up the earth's weather. Begin by having students pretend they are hiking along a mountain ridge. It's been sunny and warm all day, but you see a dark line of clouds moving from the west.

Young climatologists explore the factors that contribute to a region's climate in this two-part earth science activity. To begin, learners are provided with a map of an imaginary planet and are asked to label global wind and...

Use an online interactive worksheet to guide your young scientists into the fascinating world of tornadoes! Links to weather articles from the National Weather Service and Planet Diary give clear explanations as well as visual depictions...

Learners experiment to examine high and low pressure areas. They investigate why a high pressure area seeks a low pressure area.

In this English learning exercise, learners read "1 Million Greet Pope in Germany," and then respond to 47 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, 20 matching, and 8 true or false questions about the selection.

In this warm and cold front worksheet, students fill in a Venn diagram relating cold and warm fronts, they read and observe pictures of cold and warm fronts and they answer questions about warm and cold fronts.

Students use weather pattern worksheets to research how weather is predicted. For this weather prediction lesson plan, students predict the weather based on the wind, rain, currents, and other patterns.

In this science worksheet, students examine the topic in order to solidify knowledge covered in the curriculum using puzzles and creative games.

In this science and geography worksheet, learners read 2 pages of background information about Tornado Alley which may help them understand Night of the Twisters by Ivy Ruckman.

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...

Fourth graders diagram the weather in Utah through the use of a glyph. In this Utah weather instructional activity, 4th graders create weather glyphs of different areas in the state. Students answer questions about the weather and then...

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.

Middle schoolers explore webpages to research the nature of atoms, including electrons, protons, and neutrons. This lesson is the first of a four-part series on static electricity. They see that static electricity involves + and - charges.

Students conduct an experiment. In this science lesson, students create their own fog. Students observe the results.

In this cloud worksheet, students are given twenty definitions related to cloud formation and types of clouds. They find the proper term for each definition and put them in the crossword puzzle.

Students consider how topography affects weather and human activity. Students simulate a mountain range and observe surrounding wind patterns.

Rather than simply matching up the ionic charges on paper, this exercise gets chemists into the lab to determine the chemical formula for magnesium oxide! If a known amount of magnesium is used, an oxidation reaction results in this...

Such a great resource and perfect for learners in Kindergarten through third grade. The class will discuss cloud types and formation, and then they'll get outside and draw as they observe the clouds they see. They'll need to take note of...

In this charge and electricity worksheet, students read about electric charges and how they are created in atoms. They also read about the unit of charge, called the Coulomb, conductors, and insulators. Emerging electricians match 11...

To conclude their examination of forest ecosystems, class members consider the role forests play in the carbon cycle and how forests can offset climate change.
