Students explore the patterns of nature. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students examine beauty in nature and participate in a hands-on simulation that demonstrates how human preferences for beauty have led to an increased frequency...

Students write weather shape poems and sing weather related songs. In this creative writing lesson plan, students read the book, It's Raining, It's Pouring and list weather words they heard in the story. Students use the writing process...

In this weather activity, students review vocabulary words and concepts associated with predicting the weather. Students understand what a meteorologist studies. This activity has 7 matching, 10 fill in the blank, and 5 short answer...

Learners 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.

Fourth graders investigate conditions causing saturation and measure the dew point of the atmosphere performing simple experiments.

Fourth graders investigate the different types of precipitation and conduct a hail experiment. They identify the types of precipitation during a slideshow, and define key vocabulary terms. Next, in small groups they follow the...

In this asteroids instructional activity, students solve six problems where they find the equation for the mass of asteroids, they find the equation for the growth of asteroids, and they integrate their answers.

Eighth graders identify the different stages in the life cycle of a star. For this astronomy lesson, 8th graders read H-R diagrams and analyze data. The describe how the Sun's evolution will affect Earth in the future.

Students describe the movement of water within the water cycle and identify the states of water as it moves through the water cycle.

Students use aluminum, a thumbtack, an eraser, and more to create static electricity. In this static electricity lesson plan, students use this experiment to simulate lightning.

Third graders examine the natural circulation of water from oceans, lakes, and rivers to evaporation into the air, and then to condensation to produce rain falling back to the soil as components of the water cycle.

In this writing process review for grade 2 worksheet, 2nd graders answer 15 multiple choice questions in standardized test format about reference skills.

Students explain how water changes from vapor to liquid with a change in temperature by engaging in this experiment. They use a worksheet imbedded in this lesson to guide their inquiry.

Learners explore convection and how it happens in the earth's atmosphere.

Students play the role of weather personalities by making five day forecasts based on data gathered from observations, weather instruments, and weather maps. Each day a small group makes a class forecast for the next day and reviews the...

High schoolers recognize that global winds move in specific directions in specific latitudes and describe that in a written form. They relate the motion of the wind belts to historical navigation.

Fourth graders define cold and warm fronts, explain how they are formed and they ways that they affect the weather.

Fourth graders investigate the attraction between two different charges to explain the concept of lightning in a thunderstorm.

Students simulate the movement of cold and warm fronts as they listen to a story about the weather and Mr. Sun. They brainstorm the characteristics of each type of front then write about which front they would prefer if they were a...

First graders investigate the causes of thunderstorms and create the sounds of a thunderstorm.

Students explore how temperature and wind contribute to types of weather. In this weather lesson, students observe an experiment in which ice, steam, and an electric fan are manipulated to produce results that simulate how fog and snow...

Students review their prior knowledge on biomes and ecosystems. At a local Christmas tree farm, they work together in groups to identify the changes occuring in the area. They participate in solving a mystery in which they determine the...

Young scholars articulate differences between climate and weather using examples in a written statement. Using climate data from across the country, they describe climate patterns for various parts of the United States on a map. Students...

Students determine its' direction of movement, and list at least five weather conditions associated with the specific front, given animations of several atmospheric variables during a cold front passage. They list at least three weather...
