Curated OER
Too Heavy For Me
Students explore the different arrangement of air molecules in high and low air pressure masses. They compare the temperature of high and low pressure masses and discover how a barometer works.
Curated OER
Air Masses
Students examine the physical characteristics of several types of air masses to discover how air masses can be identified and defined by their temperature and moisture content.
Curated OER
Movement of Air II
In this movement of air instructional activity, learners determine the deflection of air masses that result from Earth's eastward rotation. Then they describe what winds provide for different trades. Students also identify and describe...
Curated OER
The Earth's Atmosphere and Temperature
Students 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.
Curated OER
Weather Patterns
In this weather activity, students identify with the symbols found on a weather map that show the locations of fronts, high- and low-pressure areas, and various types of precipitation across the United States. Then they use the map shown...
Curated OER
Hurricanes and Tornadoes (Grade 4-8)
Students investigate the concepts of hurricanes and violent weather conditions. In this violent weather instructional activity, students access an Internet site and watch a video about how air masses behave, how a tornado forms, how...
Curated OER
Adopt a City-Winter Weather
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...

Why Do Clouds Form in the Afternoon?
The stability of the atmosphere changes on a daily basis. A kinesthetic lesson models how the stability of the air changes as it's warmed by the sun. Learners connect their models to the changing air currents and movement of warm and...
Curated OER
Weather
For this weather worksheet, learners will match 4 weather terms to their correct definition. Vocabulary words include wind, weather, air mass, and front. Then students will complete 3 short answer questions based on high and low air...
Curated OER
How Are Weather Forecasts Made?
In this weather worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by writing in the different types of air masses and what types of weather are created by these different air masses.
Curated OER
Weather
In this weather worksheet, high schoolers review what causes different weather patterns including the more severe weather patterns like tornadoes and hurricanes. Students also calculate relative humidity by using dry and wet bulb...
Curated OER
Clouds, Winds, and Weather
Young scholars observe, record, and report weather conditions to learn how air mass densities determine the weather we experience daily. They demonstrate how clouds form, name clouds and predict the weather.
Curated OER
Weather Patterns
In this weather worksheet, students define an air mass and describe the different types of weather fronts. Students compare and contrast high pressure and low pressure systems. This worksheet has 4 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Weather Patterns II
In this weather worksheet, students use the diagram shown to explain what kinds of clouds form along the different types of air fronts. Then they describe what happens to the temperature when a particular front passes through. Students...
Curated OER
Weather
Students read a weather map. Using the local newspaper, Columbus Dispatch, small groups investigate that air has pressure and that temperature and pressure are inversely related in weather. They display their findings on a graph or...
Curated OER
Full of Hot Air
Young scholars investigate technology and its many designs to make our lives easy. In this science lesson, students build a hot air balloon and answer specific questions about weight and rides in the hot air balloon. They analyze their...
Curated OER
Cold Fronts And Warm Fronts
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...
Curated OER
Weather Facts
Students study weather and weather measurement tools. In this weather lesson, students read and discuss weather myths and superstitions as well as weather terminology. Students then work in groups to complete weather stations for wind,...
Curated OER
Earth Science - Weather
Students build an understanding of the dynamics and composition of the atmosphere and its local and global processes influencing climate and air quality. They analyze air masses and the life cycle of weather systems.
Curated OER
Why Does Weather Occur?
In this weather worksheet, students will compare and contrast the differences between warm air masses and cold air masses and how these influence the weather patterns.
Curated OER
Weather and Wind
Students study wind and its effect on weather. In this investigative lesson students write a report on wind and weather and create a movement sequence.
Curated OER
The Air Around You
For this air worksheet, students will answer questions about the Earth's atmosphere, including the layers, air masses, and heat transfer. Students will explore how the difference in atmospheric temperature can create weather patterns....
