Students take cloud and weather related photographs during the year, making certain to make notes of when, where and what time the photograph was taken. At some point all the pictures be gathered and a scrapbook or "cloud library" be made.

Students observe and discuss the local weather patterns, researching cloud types and weather patterns for cities on the same latitude on the Internet. They record the data for 6-8 weeks on a graph, and make weather predictions for their...

Students read the "Cloud Book" by Tomie de Paola and create a map of clouds identifying atmospheric conditions, color and type, and what type of weather each cloud indicates. Emphasis is placed on the use of Kidspiration.

Students identify the three major cloud groups. They are introduced to the three main cloud types and spend a week making and recording observations of clouds. Students produce a graph that presents their findings and conduct research...

Learners study and illustrate clouds. In this cloud study lesson, students study clouds and then illustrate what they see. Learners use their imaginations to interpret images from the cloud picture they drew.

In this weather instructional activity, students decode the given "weather lore" using the code provided. Students must decode 7 different statements.

Young scholars analyze art as a cloud pattern activity. In this cloud and art lesson plan, students view April Gornik's painting The Back of the Storm and make connections between science and art. Young scholars observe cloud patterns...

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

Students explore winter weather. In this winter weather lesson, students examine and define 22 weather-related terms. Students determine the words that have to do with winter weather.

In this weather learning exercise, students review what causes different weather patterns including the more severe weather patterns like tornadoes and hurricanes. Students also calculate relative humidity by using dry and wet bulb...

Third graders identify "ingredients" of a cloud. They determine if a given weather scenario is beneficial for cloud formation.

In this weather worksheet, students read a realistic story about a family's experience during a hurricane. Factual information about hurricanes is given. Students then answer 6 questions.

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

Students examine the vocabulary and objects associated with objects in the sky and weather. They observe the sky outside of their classroom and create a list of things in the sky. Students then analyze a poster, read and discuss key...

In this earth science learning exercise, students match 21 hurricane satellite images to their appropriate shape. They also answer 4 short answer questions about hurricane shape classification.

Students find forecast and graph weather by using WeatherBug site, create flower books by using Wiggleworks, and plant radish seeds both on KidPix and in class garden.

Students demonstrate how hail and rain are suspended in the air during a storm. In this lesson on storms and weather, students use a hair dryer and ping pong ball to demonstrate how hail and rain can be suspended in the air during a storm.

Fifth graders participate in a WebQuest that introduces them to a study on clouds and how they relate to weather systems.

Fifth graders study air pressure and learn how it can change the weather. In this air pressure instructional activity, 5th graders study the given diagrams and complete the experiments to learn how air pressure can change the weather....

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...

Students identify the words plain and climate and discuss what would happen if it never rained. Students identify and interpret the weather in Poland and create a web illustrating various weather patterns. Students write a 4-line poem...

Students create and analyze a weather-related data table and a thematic map based upon information provided.

Students compare current weather data to historic data to see if there is a temperature change.  In this weather lesson students complete a lab activity and determine average changes in temperature, precipitation and cloud cover.

Using the NASA website, class members try to determine if changes could be detected in cloud cover, temperature, and/or radiation measurements due to the lack of contrails that resulted from the halt in air traffic after the attacks...
