During this instructional activity, students will gather data from temperature and water gauges set up on the playground to learn about weather patterns. Then students will build a spreadsheet with data related to temperature, wind...

Second graders will measure, record, graph and report changes in local weather utilizing Navajo, Ute, and Spanish words.

Examine this graph from FRONTLINE/NOVA: "What's Up with the Weather?" Web site to see dramatic increases in three greenhouse gases over the last two hundred years.

People from all over the world exchange information about weather observation using a variety of instruments.

Learn about weather forecasting, the different gadgets used to predict the weather, and other interesting facts.

Students act as citizen scientists and take and record the local temperature, and compare it with national readings.

In this investigation, students will observe the weather and use weather terminology to document data in a science notebook. They will continue to observe and record their weather data throughout the year, looking for changes due to...

Students track barometric pressure, wind direction, temperature, and clouds. The class records daily readings in these for areas and attempt to formulate patterns to use in forecasting the weather based on these elements.

During this lesson, students will study, record, and predict weather. Students will work in groups to create a weather word wall, research and make a barometer, and create a video about weather. Students will also use the Internet to...

In this lesson, Teaching Grammar in Context by Constance Weaver provides foundational information for this lesson. Brave Irene, written by William Steig, is used as the mentor text of this lesson. Students will develop sentences with...

This hands-on activity explores five different forms of erosion (chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature). Students rotate through stations and model each type of erosion on rocks, soils and minerals. The students record their...

For this activity, pupils conduct ongoing observations of the weather and seasonal changes, and record them in their weather journals.

Students follow weather forecasts to gauge their accuracy and produce a weather report for the class. They develop skills of observation, recording and reporting.

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...

Find the biggest, baddest, most extreme of everything science all in one place. Includes wild topics in earth science, life science, space science, weather, oceanography, and technology.

A long-term project lesson plan where students observe seasonal changes by recording observations and data of the weather conditions. Students will understand how to use a light meter, thermometer, anemometer, and rain gauge with this...

Looking at models and maps, students explore different pathways and consequences of pollutant transport via the weather and water cycles. In an associated literacy activity, students develop skills of observation, recording and reporting...

Through inquiry, learners compare how different kinds of fabrics keep objects warmer or colder. Upon completion students will infer and record in their science notebook which fabric would be good to wear in cold weather, and why.

Monitor the evolution of storms in the northern and southern hemispheres using data such as sea level pressures, wind speed and wave height. Records go back as far as 90 days.

For this activity, students visit a small section of the schoolyard and record observations in a scientific journal. They will observe different things as the school year progresses, including ecological relationships, human impact on...

Using thermometers, students will compare differences in the temperature of various materials and locations. They will record and chart the data that was collected and present the graphs to their classmates.

Explore the science behind the "extremes" in our world. Organized into sections on earth science, the animal kingdom, technology, and space science, this site opens your eyes to giant creatures, amazing technological advances, vast...

Students track the temperature outside and the types of clouds over the course of a week. They will learn to identify different cloud types and what they indicate about the weather.

Teachers will be interested to explore the SkyMath module, and the 16 classroom activities at this site. In this program, students will collect and record real-time weather data to analyze. Data analysis, graphing, number relationship,...
