Students conduct an experiment to determine dew point and use a formula to detemine altitude. They construct a chart and predict what altitude clouds would form, given the dew point on the ground.

Fourth graders investigate how weather conditions and phenomena occur and how they can be predicted. They complete an internet search. Students create a weather fact sheet over a selected weather phenomenon.

Find out the science of how clouds keep Earth cooler on hot days. Using guided discussions, investigators analyze and interpret maps of how much solar energy Earth receives at different times of the year. Participants draw conclusions...

The 3 steps of the water cycle, evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, are the focus of this lesson. After a neat demonstration of rain using hot water, a pie tin, and ice cubes, young scientists observe and discuss the elements...

Young scholars investigate and demonstrate the science behind the development of tornadoes.

The classic book, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs lesson, is used to help readers compare and contrast the weather in Chewandswallow to their own town. Learners write their own fantasy weather story. This lesson is intended to be an...

Third graders observe and reproduce the water cycle in their very own classroom. A simple, yet very effective, demonstration on how water evaporates is observed by the young scientists. They make observations and sketches in their...

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.

Students develop a travelogue to describe the distinct ecological regions of Mount Kilimanjaro. Students simulate mountain climbing. They describe the health issues that may affect climbers, and any necessary equipment or safety...

Students work in groups to interpret weather maps. They use latitude and longitude readings to complete a worksheet together and turn in the worksheet along with the maps and a rubric.

This PowerPoint provides a game board similar to Jeopardy filled with questions and answers related to science. The categories from which the teams choose are weather, water cycle, clouds, and space.

Students describe the day's weather and observe their responses as they are written on the board. They brainstorm all different types of weather and how differences in weather determine what types of clothing we wear to school each day....

Students identify the job of a meteorologist. In this meteorologist lesson plan, students read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and view clips of weather forecasts. Students visit the Weather Channel website and sing a weather song....

Students use real-time weather maps to determine the likelihood of acid rainfall in a region. Students apply their understanding of interaction between weather systems, land and air pollution, to address acid rain and the effects on...

In this weather instructional activity, students participate in 8 general weather-related activities. Students also answer 5 yes/no questions about weather.

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

In this science worksheet, students answer the questions related to the identification of air masses and how to define them.

What factors make up climate? How does longitude and latitude affect climate? What is causing Earth's climate to change? These questions are the topic of a presentation that explains characteristics of climate and climate change.

It's time for your class to literally show what they know! Pupils illustrate what they learned about the causes and effects of climate change by filling out a graphic organizer to complete the 5-part series of lessons. They discuss them...

Here's a hurricane lesson that's sure to catch your eye! Pupils learn about the unique balance of conditions required to form one of nature's most destructive forces. The interactive illustrates how hurricanes form, grow, and affect...

In this weather activity, high schoolers review human activities that alter the weather, especially cloud seeding experimentation. This activity has 8 short answer questions.

Students use weather measuring devices to record and study weather conditions at different locations, during different times. They attempt to draw conclusions about the relationship between weather conditions, lunar cycle and fishing...

Students study meteorology and weather forecasting. They set up a weather forecaster area in their classroom using a large classroom map, a pointer stick, a microphone connected to an amplifier, a play suit jacket or lab coat, and a...

Students probe the dynamic weather changes through several hands-0n activities in this seven lessons unit. The hydrologic cycle, clouds, atmosphere, air movement, fronts, and forecasting form the components presented in this unit.
