Curated OER
What's Up With Updrafts?
Young scholars demonstrate how hail and rain are suspended in the air during a storm. In this lesson on storms and weather, students use a hair dryer and ping pong ball to demonstrate how hail and rain can be suspended in the air during...
Curated OER
Create a Cloud in a Bottle
Students look at how clouds form. In this cloud lesson, students make a cloud using water, 2 liter bottles and a match. They watch how the pressure and temperature changes the atmosphere in the bottle to create a cloud.
Curated OER
Weather
Pupils track wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, air temperature, and precipitation for a month using a newspaper. They chart the data over a months time.
Curated OER
Learning Lesson: Crunch Time
Students demonstrate the effect of heat on pressure. They use a 2-liter bottle and hot tap water to complete the experiments. They also discuss thunderstorm safety rules.
Curated OER
Cyclones
Students explore Earth science by researching natural disasters in class. In this cyclone lesson, students discuss the creation of cyclones and what their potential destruction can be in the wrong environment. Students read assigned text...
Curated OER
A Comparison of Cloud Coverage over Africa
Learners identify different climate regions and local weather patterns. In this cloud coverage lesson students use NASA satellite data and import it into Excel.
Chicago Botanic Garden
Climate Change Around the World
You know climate change is happening when you see a bee take off its yellow jacket. Part four in a series of five lessons explores all factors affecting climate change: temperature, cloud cover, precipitation, and carbon dioxide. By...
Curated OER
Sunlight and Warm Air
Students examine the different ways heat can be felt. In this radiation and conduction lesson plan, students recognize that the sun radiates heat. Students conduct three experiments to find how the sun warms the Earth and how that...
Curated OER
Surface Meteorological Observation System (SMOS)
Young scholars investigate local surface weather conditions. They log weather conditions for thirty days, develop a graph, plot cloud cover, and compare/contrast the graphed lines of various weather factors.
Curated OER
Meteorology
Seventh graders examine the job of meteorologists. They decide which characteristics of the atmosphere that meteorologists focus on. They use local weather maps from newspapers to predict weather in their area.
Curated OER
Meteorologist for a Day
Middle schoolers research weather patterns, predict the weather for a US city and write a weather forecast that be presented to the class. The forecast should explain their weather prediction and the weather patterns and conditions it is...
Curated OER
Precipitation
Fourth graders identify the conditions that create rain. They read and discuss weather records, and write a news article that includes factual information fom one of the listed weather records.
Curated OER
Surface Meteorological Observation System (SMOS)
Students monitor local surface weather conditions for at least 30 days. They interpret the data by graphing it and detemining percentages.
Curated OER
Weather Chart
Students select at least 6 cities from around the world to keep track of their high and low temperatures over a period of time.
Curated OER
Comparing the Effects of El Nino and La Nina
Students examine the differences between an El Nino and La Nina year. In this investigative lesson students create maps and graphs of the data they obtained.
Curated OER
Weather Predictions
Fourth graders explore meteorologists. They explore symbols on a weather map and make five day forecasts.
Curated OER
Meteorology
Fourth graders study how atmospheric conditions change while naming the things that make the weather change. They investigate the affects of air masses, weather fronts and high/low pressure by looking at weather maps from newspapers.
Curated OER
Winter and Summer Storms Scenarios
Fourth graders analyze how summer and winter storms are different. In this weather lesson, 4th graders construct a winter storm simulation box and a summer storm bottle and record the temperature and barometer readings. The directions to...
