Students calculate wind chill using a mathematical formula. In this earth science lesson, students compare the wind chill in Antarctica to that of their local area. They explain how this can lead to hypothermia.

Students explore climate and weather conditions. Using the Internet, and other activities, students examine climate maps and the factors that affect climate. They examine how climate affects clothes, shelter, food, transportation,...

In this science worksheet, middle schoolers participate in an activity using the sheet that increases the knowledge of weather and is based on achieving the academic standard of identifying air masses.

Students are introduced to the topic of climatology. In groups, they use the Digital Atlas of Idaho to identify the layers of the atmosphere and review concepts of weather. To end the lesson, they examine different photographs and...

In this weather disasters worksheet, students match words to definitions about weather disasters. Students complete 10 matches total.

Young scholars explore the effects of global warming. They examine the differences between weather and climate. After viewing a video, students summarize information on climate change and drought.

Students solve simulated crimes using real-time online information. They research data on items such as ship tracking through GPS, lake conditions, and weather systems. They also collect information about invasive plant and animal...

Students search their room to learn cloud names and types. In this weather lesson,  students scavenge the changing cloud scenery to memorize clouds types and facts. To add fun to the memorization the class plays I spy.

In this science worksheet, students look for the words that fill the blanks to cover the concept of the atmosphere. The activity is meant to be a review.

In this science worksheet, students review the concepts that tie the relationship of clouds and how they collect precipitation in response to changes in humidity.

Students learn about fall and spring by engaging in hands-on activities in order to fulfill science and language arts standards. For this lesson on seasons, students first listen to a story about fall, discuss the characteristics of the...

Students create a cloud in a bottle.

Learners analyze line plots. In this weather lesson using real NASA data, students discuss how weather affects the way the Earth is heated by comparing different line plots.

Students explore and examine the science of leaves, leaf parts and why leaves change colors. They assess what weather conditions are necessary for leaves to change color, collect a variety of fallen leaves and then create a realistic...

El Nino, and the climate changes that go along with it, are the focus of this Earth Science lesson. Learners pay particular attention to the wind patterns that are established on Earth, and look at weather maps to see how El Nino can...

Students discuss the wind-- what causes it, how it is used, and how it affects the weather. They list ways they know that air is moving, such as feeling it on their skin or watching a flag blow in the breeze. Students research the...

Students work in groups to brainstorm safety rules everyone should follow: at home, at school, in very hot or cold weather, in case of fire, or while playing outside, eating, riding in cars, or interacting with animals. They pick one...

Students research outstanding artwork, from fine art to advertising, that is created with snow scenes silhouettes. They experiment with how to depict various weather conditions, such as snow, when creating a painting. Afterward, they...

Students determine water level tidal predictions for a given place for the next month, current status of the area and the local weather. Links are provided for the information. Students answer questions based on the information found,...

Students work on a K-W-L chart about electrical storms, lightening, and thunder. They discuss how meteorologists forecast storms and research their answers which are shared in a whole class setting. Using art supplies, they draw dwelling...

There's nothing better than a cool breeze blowing in from the ocean. Scholars explore how water affects change in temperature using a hands-on experiment on climate. They use measurement tools to compare the continental and oceanic...
