Fourth graders conduct an experiment demonstrating the effects of water and air temperature on precipitation. They create graphs demonstrating their findings using Claris Works for Kids.

Students investigate the concept of rising air in the formation of clouds and precipitation. In this rising air lesson, students conduct an experiment with hot and cold water that shows how warm water rises due to thermal buoyancy. They...

In this earth science worksheet, middle schoolers check the accuracy of the weather forecasts in their area for a week. Then they complete the chart by recording the forecast for the week's weather and then recording the actual weather...

Fourth graders explore weather by reading weather measurement text. For this barometer lesson, 4th graders discuss ways weather is measured on Earth and how these measurements lead to predictions. Students read assigned text, discuss...

Students identify trends and characteristics of climate zones and specific places within. Then, they graph annual climate trends (primarily Temperature and Precipitation) and create, interpret and extrapolate information based on...

Fourth graders observe, measure, and record data on the basic elements of weather over a period of time (i.e., precipitation, air temperature, wind speed and direction, and air pressure). Then, they make a barometer and keep record of...

In this weather worksheet, students look at the average monthly temperatures and precipitation for their own city to determine the mean, mode, range, and median. This worksheet has 8 fill in the blank questions.

Pupils compare graphs of weather occurrences. In this environmental lesson plan, students will being using the website to gather weather related information for a certain time period. The pupils will then graph the data that will be...

Students study the weather over time in this lesson. In this weather lesson, students record weather information from the newspaper over a month's time. They record the wind speed and direction, the barometric pressure, the air...

In this climate worksheet, students will compare and contrast the characteristics of a polar climate with a temperate climate and write their answers in a graphic organizer.

Learners explain the difference between climate and weather. They gain concepts of currents and discuss how the currents have an affect on climate and weather. Students gain knowledge of the instruments that meteorologists use to predict...

Fourth graders use glyphs as a way to visually represent information about Utah weather. These nonverbal representations help students collect and interpret data in a visual format.

Students examine the components of ecosystems. They compare and contrast an ecosystem to an aquatic ecosystem. They examine a local ecosystem and discuss its components.

Pupils research the effects of day-to-day weather on animal migrations, plant growth and other seasonal events. They consult maps, observe and record local conditions, keep journals and use their collected data check hypotheses.

Fourth graders analyze the relationship of clouds and local weather. Students also observe and record cloud data and weather conditions daily as they research different cloud types. The data is analyzed looking for trends in daily...

Students compare and contrast abiotic and biotic factors. They discuss how these factors effect ecosystems. They answer questions to complete the lesson.

Students are introduced to the importance and usefulness of climographs. In groups, they create a climograph of two cities on about the same latitude. They compare and contrast the locations and climates of the two cities and write a...

Fourth graders analyze how summer and winter storms are different. For 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...

Eighth graders demonstrate how scientific principles can be used to provide resources in an emergency situation.  In this evaporation lesson students view a demonstration on a solar still and see a brief PowerPoint presentation. 

Second graders explore botany by viewing video clips in class. For this seed growth lesson, 2nd graders identify the types of seeds that grow specific plants and what the optimal conditions are for growing seeds. Students view a video...

Students study acid rain and complete several activities that show how it affects the environment. They role play members of the community involved in a major decision involving the protection of the environment.

In this climate worksheet, students brainstorm the causes and effects of different factors that affect the climate. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

Ninth graders research the average temperature and precipitation of a prairie region to determine the type of climate it is, and how it differs from other biomes. They examine the types of adaptions animals have made to live in the...

Students complete a research project. In this climate instructional activity, students learn about the climate "tropical wet and dry" found in Australia. Students work in groups to research aspects of this climate and then create a class...
