Students recognize and observe weather phenomena. In this four part weather lesson, students are introduced to weather symbols through a story, then use a thermometer to measure water temperature. Next, students observe the formation of...

Fourth graders research weather phenomenon in groups on the Internet and create a slide for the class power point presentation. They include 5 key points (temperature, air pressure, and fronts and descriptions for each type of cloud or...

Students research information on the types of clouds. They create a database and use a formula. They create various reports and access electronic information to obtain accurate pressure and temperature readings from the National Weather...

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

Third graders relate previous knowledge of cloud formation to the "seeding" of clouds and justify their stance on a position taken in a debate on weather control.

Students observe weather patterns, collect data, and make a weather predictions for various locations on a map.

Fourth graders investigate how weather conditions and phenomena occur and how they can be predicted. They complete an internet search. Students create a weather fact sheet over a selected weather phenomenon.

In this weather instructional activity, students use the pictures illustrated to help them unscramble each word to learn a few weather sayings. Then they identify the ways in which meteorologist tracked weather before technology.

Young scholars examine how clouds are made.

Learners create a HyperStudio stack that describes and illustrates twelve different kinds of clouds. They then make inferences about which types of weather the different types of clouds could help predict.

Students observe an experiment showing the formation of a cloud. They write a paragraph summarizing the condition that are necessary for a cloud to form and explain the weather situations cause cloud formation.

First graders compare forecasts to today's weather. They gather information about today's weather and record it on a chart. Students record information on the weather and discuss the importance of forecasts.

Students conduct observations and use a dichotomous key to identify clouds they see.

First graders gain a better understanding of types of clouds. They recreate clouds using Kidspiration. The types of clouds they study about are cirrus, cumulus, and stratus clouds.

Students classify the visual opacity of various materials, what is needed to create shadows, and classify clouds by the types of shadows that they produce.

Students classify clouds as transparent, translucent or opaque. They conduct an experiment to determine the visual opacity of several classroom objects and then conduct further observations of clouds.

Students conduct an experiment to determine dew point and use a formula to detemine altitude. They construct a chart and predict what altitude clouds would form, given the dew point on the ground.

Students develop a travelogue to describe the distinct ecological regions of Mount Kilimanjaro. Students simulate mountain climbing. They describe the health issues that may affect climbers, and any necessary equipment or safety...

Learners use the general climate section of the Digital Atlas of Idaho. Then they identify and interpret some basic concepts about climatology. Students also read through the information contained in the Digital Atlas on Climatology....

Learners conduct various experiments to explore the concepts that static electricity is the cause of lightning.

Find out the science of how clouds keep Earth cooler on hot days. Using guided discussions, investigators analyze and interpret maps of how much solar energy Earth receives at different times of the year. Participants draw conclusions...

In this everyday editing worksheet, students correct grammatical mistakes in a short paragraph about the strongest wind ever measured. The errors range from punctuation, capitalization, grammar, and spelling.

Clouds come alive when curious minds create rain in an action-packed activity. Scholars view a video of rain and analyze an image of water uses to generate a class discussion leading into a hands-on exploration. Using a set of...

This science assignment produced by NASA teaches inquiring minds the distribution of Earth's water. Learners will appreciate and understand the importance of fresh water and how weather and climate affects everything.
