Students explore how clouds are produced through three different age-appropriate hands-on experiments.

Twelfth graders consider the survival of prairie plants. They examine how some tallgrass prairie species are adapted to the conditions of their ecosystem. They make a prediction of how a species might change given new conditions.

Students focus on the production of maple syrup in Northern New England as they study the effects of climate change. They investigate other environmental factors on the forests of Northern New England.

Students explore why the oceans do not freeze. They explain why they think the Atlantic Ocean does not freeze. Students are given background information about what they are doing. They create a hypothesis about what they believe...

Students explore the water cycle using educational resources. For this water cycle lesson, students use a global climate DVD to complete a scavenger hunt on the hydrologic (water) cycle.

In this water worksheet, students complete a five question multiple choice online interactive quiz about water. This is a more advanced quiz that includes chemistry questions.

In this El Nino worksheet, students review this specific change in the climate cycle by completing 20 short answer questions.

In this aqueous equilbria worksheet, students write the solubility product expressions for the given salts. Students determine what affects the solubility of salts. Students calculate the pH of a buffer solution. This worksheet has 14...

In this science worksheet, 3rd graders focus on the weather. Students respond to ten fill in the blank questions regarding weather terminology.

For this science worksheet, 3rd graders will focus on the weather. Students will respond to ten fill in the blank questions regarding weather prediction.

First graders compare plant samples obtained from two different sites to explore how climate affects plants.

Students explain the components that make up a hurricane.

Students work in teams of 2 to complete the presentation portion of the assignment. They may be required to work alone or may work with their partner to complete the "Board Member's Responses."

Middle schoolers draw isopleths based on how many pieces of "confetti snow" land in their cup.

Fourth graders write a story about how a drop of water may have traveled to school. They design a presentation on the water cycle.

Young scholars study physical features of a local stream. They study how to identify water features on topographic maps.

Students correlate graphs of vegetation vigor with those of temperature and precipitation data for four diverse ecosystems, ranging from those near the equator to the poles, to determine which climatic factor is limiting growth.

A White House announcement on the effect of El Nino on world climate.

A lesson where students learn how to read, analyze, and construct climographs which display monthly average temperature and precipitation. Students also practice matching climographs to various locations and summarize global-scale...

A tutorial that describes the five factors that determine the weather in a particular place and time. The factors discussed in this tutorial are air temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind, and precipitation. A PDF file of the tutorial...

Maple syrup is deliciously gooey and great on breakfast foods like pancakes and waffles. But it has another amazing property. It can form crystals under the right circumstances, and the crystals change in size and shape, depending on...

Add different salts to water, then watch them dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate. Compare the number of ions in solution for highly soluble NaCl to other slightly soluble salts. Relate the charges on ions...

In this amazingly comprehensive interactive tutorial you will learn how factors such as ocean currents, topography, and air currents affect weather patterns. You will also learn the similarities and differences between weather and climate.

Eight hands-on lessons module in which students explore climate and weather. Inquiry-based investigations include observing weather, weather reporting, weather maps, weather satellites, causes of weather, and climate change.
