Students discuss concept and specificity of habitats, both marine and terrestrial, list similarities and differences in the habitats of a kelp forest and a terrestrial forest, compare types of organisms that occupy corresponding types of...

In this gas law worksheet, students practice applying the gas laws by completing 4 word problems focused on volume, pressure, and temperature.

Students, through hands on games and activities, discover how bats live and how bats benefit ecosystems. They play a game designed to show them how echolocation works and another to show how mother bats locate their young through their...

Students explain the impact of glacial melting to global climate change. In this environmental science lesson plan, students design an experiment to investigate the effect of salinity change to melting glaciers. They share their results...

What are air masses and where do they originate? What happens to the weather along fronts? Learn about warm and cold fronts and different types of advection. Maps and animated illustrations make these topics easier to comprehend.

An air mass forms when the air over a large region of Earth sits in one place for many days. The air gradually takes on the characteristics of the land or water below it. Where Earth's surface is cold, the air becomes cold. Where Earth's...

A video and a short multiple-choice quiz on the topic of air masses and fronts. It describes the types of weather fronts, what an air mass is, and the four types of air masses in the US.

Describes the different types of fronts and the dry line associated with certain fronts. Well illustrated with diagrams and maps.

A very detailed description of air masses, how they move and interact, and what weather takes place when this happens.

Explains three forces of nature and how they impact the weather. These include infrared rays from the sun, differences in air pressure, and wind flow when hot and cold air masses meet. Supported by lots of visuals.

Read and understand the differences between a cold and a warm front.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Describes the weather fronts that occur when two air masses collide. Includes downloadable handouts.

With the study of weather we need to know that there is air mass like fronts that change weather. This site shows us the different kinds of fronts that we experience.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Describes the fronts that occur when two air masses collide.

When air is warmed, it expands and becomes less dense. As the air becomes less dense, its air pressure decreases. This occurs because molecules in warm air have greater kinetic energy (energy of motion) than in cold air. As the molecules...

Explore what generates a jet stream, and discover why they flow from west to east. A link is offered in this site to a helpful animation describing the jet stream process.

When meteorologists forecast a winter storm one of the important predictions they make is the type, or types, of precipitation that are likely to fall. Will freezing rain cause an ice storm? Will ice pellets called sleet leave the ground...

Review the main types of weather fronts using this study guide.

Learners learn that wind and storms can form at the boundaries of interacting high and low pressure air masses. They learn the distinguishing features of the four main types of weather fronts (warm fronts, cold fronts, stationary fronts...
