Students conduct an experiment. In this wind measurement lesson, students learn about instruments that measure the wind and then make a weather vane. Students record wind speed over a few days.

Students explore Earth science by completing a could identification activity. In this weather activity, students discuss the different forms of measurement for the weather of Earth. Students discuss global warming and examine a list of...

Students construct a thermoscreen for the experiment. In this earth science lesson, students make observations and interpret them using synoptic codes. They predict the weather based on gathered information.

Students study wind speed and collect wind speed data. In this wind speed lesson, students visit a website to learn about the local wind speed forecast for their week. Students discuss wind and wind speed. Students collect wind speed...

Students keep detailed weather records during the fall migration of the monarch butterfly. They compare weather conditions to the days they do and do not see monarchs. As a class, they graph and analyze data and send it to a university...

Learners explore Earth science by participating in a weather identification activity. In this scientific instrument lesson, students identify several weather related tools such as the weather vane, thermometer and rain gauge. Learners...

Fourth graders investigate the attraction between two different charges to explain the concept of lightning in a thunderstorm.

Students play the role of weather personalities by making five day forecasts based on data gathered from observations, weather instruments, and weather maps. Each day a small group makes a class forecast for the next day and reviews the...

Third graders discover the process thinking about science experiments, and why they are important. They work in small groups using incline planes and a small toy car to design one scientific question that can be answered through...

Students collect weather data over a thirty day period to gain an increased understanding of the weather patterns in their area. Once the data is collected, students post their finding online using a web tool. Finally, students attempt...

In this science worksheet, students look for the data that is needed to fill in the graphic organizer. The prefixes are given that are needed to sort the information as it is collected.

Students explore the concept of renewable energy. In this alternative energy lesson, students participate in a play that conveys information regarding wind energy. The script may be performed as a play with props or as a reader's theatre.

Pupils explain the process of wave formation and analyze the relationship between the ocean and the atmosphere.  For this oceans lesson students use buoys to cast real time sea state conditions. 

Students record observations gathered while at a national wildlife refuge. In this lesson on wildlife refuges, students choose an observation spot and record seasonal changes throughout the year.

High schoolers keep a detailed record of weather patterns during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. The use of weather reports is used to form a class data sheet. This instructional activity connects to the skills of graphing...

Students 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.

Students write their own newspaper article about a weather story using newspapers and a weather records worksheet.

Students explore air and clouds by watching demonstration. They perform an experiment to measure air pressure changes.

Fourth graders explore meteorologists. They explore symbols on a weather map and make five day forecasts.

Fourth graders relate myths to weather phenomenon. They write and illustrated a weather myth and present it to the class.

Students write newspaper articles using a "weather record" worksheet and information they find in newspapers.

Fourth graders measure wind speed over a week's time uisng a ping pong and a protractor and graph the results. They convert the number of degrees to miles per hour using a scale. They discuss patterns and relationships.

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.

Students read and relate the poem, "Clouds" by Aileen Fisher to a demonstration on cloud formation. They create clouds in jars using ice water and matches then discuss the ways clouds can be used to predict weather.
