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
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
Meteorology Madness
Students probe the dynamic weather changes through several hands-0n activities in this seven lessons unit. The hydrologic cycle, clouds, atmosphere, air movement, fronts, and forecasting form the components presented in this unit.
Curated OER
High and Low: Pressures and Fronts
Pupils investigate basic information about high- and low-pressure fronts and how they affect the weather. They observe weather patterns and cloud formations. Students study the basic pattern of movement of high- and low-pressure weather...

LAB: Temperature Inversion - Pollution Simulation
Students, after identifying and examining the relationship of temperature and air masses in association with smog and pollution, create a temperature inversion in a long aquarium jar. They experience what happens when smog builds up and...
Curated OER
Movement of Fronts
Pupils use a demonstration in order to learn abou the movement of weather fronts.
Curated OER
Predicting Storms and Weather
Young scholars use weather pattern worksheets to research how weather is predicted. In this weather prediction lesson plan, students predict the weather based on the wind, rain, currents, and other patterns.
Curated OER
Sports Helmets and Impact Testing of Polymers
Students examine the importance of good quality safety gear. In this investigative lesson, students will tests various polymers, collect data, and analyze the data to determine which polymer is best for safety helmets. They will design a...
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
Dryline Characteristics
Students view animations of several atmospheric variables (e.g., temperature, rainfall) during a cold front passage and locate the dryline, determine its direction of movement, and list at least two weather conditions associated with the...
Curated OER
The Perfect Storm
In this weather worksheet, students read about the mechanics of a hurricane and then complete 4 short answer questions based on the reading.
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
Newton's Second Law of Motion with Balance Toys
Students discuss acceleration and deceleration and participate in brief demonstrations of the Second Law of Motion. They apply the law to a metal balance toy and a plastic balance toy by applying the same force then with different forces.
Curated OER
Composting
Using 2-liter bottles, junior ecologists create composting tubes in which they place nitrogen-rich and carbon-rich materials. They observe what changes occur over two weeks' time. Provide more specific direction to your class as to what...

Utah Weather
Fourth graders diagram the weather in Utah through the use of a glyph. In this Utah weather lesson plan, 4th graders create weather glyphs of different areas in the state. Students answer questions about the weather and then compare...
Curated OER
Meet Meteorology
Students explore meteorology, discuss Earth's atmosphere, create drawings of the water cycle, create meteorology journals, and role play forecasters. Nine lessons on one page; includes unit test.
Curated OER
Clouds
Learners explore clouds. In this weather lesson, students identify the steps in the water cycle, define condensation and evaporation, and relate this information to cloud formation. Learners perform a cloud experiment,...
Curated OER
Hurricanes
Upper elementary meteorologists take a glance at what a hurricane is and how it is formed. Because this does not get into the differences in air pressure that drive the associated winds, it may not be useful for older learners. The...
Curated OER
Make A Thunderstorm!
Students create a thunderstorm by putting ice cubes and food coloring into a container and observe what happens to the food coloring. In this thunderstorm lesson plan, students discuss the cause and effects of thunderstorms and then...
Curated OER
You Can Be A Woman Meteorologist
Students complete four activities that are about meteorology. The first activity is for them to explore weather maps. The second activity is for students to discover high-pressure and low-pressure air. The third activity is for them to...
Curated OER
Geometry: Practical Applications of the Distance Formula
Students, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...
