In this lesson students use Microsoft Excel to manipulate and statistically analyze large climate databases of precipitation., temperature, stream discharge, tree ring data, ice core data, and ENSO to determine climate relationships and...

Water moves from place to place through the water cycle, which is changing as climate changes. Learn how the water cycle is changing as global temperatures rise.

Add different salts to water, then watch them dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate. Compare the number of ions in solution for highly soluble NaCl to other slightly soluble salts. Relate the charges on ions...

"This website provides data tables/maps of US precipitations and temperature rates based on data from previous El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events."

Learn how weather is the combination of four factors -- temperature, wind, precipitation, and sunlight and clouds -- that occur at a given place and time in this lesson plan from WGBH. The mix of factors is changing all the time;...

A White House announcement on the effect of El Nino on world climate.

Find out about the climate of Algiers, Algeria from this BBC Weather site where you will read about the climate regions, temperature variations, precipitation, and sunshine amounts. There is also a current 5-day forecast for Algiers.

This interactive resource adapted from NASA describes the different temperature, precipitation, and vegetation patterns in seven biomes: coniferous forest, temperate deciduous forest, desert, grassland, rainforest, shrubland, and tundra.

Provides information for ten day and two-week outlooks on temperature, precipitation, and soil moisture conditions throughout the world. Offers information on climate topics including El Nino and La Nina.

Young scholars correlate graphs of vegetation vigor with those of temperature and precipitation data for four diverse ecosystems, ranging from those near the equator to the poles, to determine which climatic factor is limiting growth.

This site provides a discussion of dew point and relative humidity, containing formulas that look at connections between temperature, humidity, and dew point.

A unit where students record daily temperatures, precipitation amounts, observations of weather patterns, shadow length of a set object, and other observations. In addition, they will complete a season-long weekly observation of a...

An introduction to the factors that affect the Arctic's weather and climate: latitude, land/sea distribution, solar radiation, air temperature, air pressure, winds, humidity, clouds, and precipitation.

Explains the use of synoptic weather analysis in preparing weather maps and forecasting. Discusses the use of symbols as well.

A tutorial that describes the five factors that determine the weather in a particular place and time. The factors discussed in this tutorial are air temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind, and precipitation. A PDF file of the tutorial...

Twelve interactive chemistry lessons about chemical changes complete with handouts and animations.

A video and a short multiple-choice quiz on the topic of weather and climate, and the difference between them.

The University of East Anglia offers links to information about climate information of the UK. Each link has charts with facts of weather types, monthly climate, precipitaion, and temperature.

If you're studying the weather, this is an excellent project for students to develop their understanding of how weather is measured. They will use real time data from their location as well as from around the world to learn about weather...

Complete these three activities to learn about climate, severe weather, and global warming. Includes links to explore related material.

In this multi-day, students will learn weather through multisensory approaches. Students will make daily predictions. After each daily prediction, they will collect measurement and observational data by taking walks in different types of...

This site provides a lesson plan in which groups of students will each investigate a different type of weather map use for weather forecasting. Also includes discussion questions, extension ideas, and links to additional sites for more...
