Young scholars 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.

Students examine several concepts about weather in the seven lessons of this unit. This year long activity helps students to gather data seasonally about wind, clouds, precipitation, and temperature. Earth's three climate zones are...

Students investigate how lightning is produced and ways they can keep themselves safe during a lightning storm. After a lecture/demo, students use a worksheet imbedded in this plan to reinforce the concepts taught.

Third graders decide what they want to explore lightning, how to go about finding the answers, and deciding what skills they need to further study some of their questions.

Students compose lightning safety rules and explore facts and fiction about lightning. They examine the cause of lightning when a channel nears an object on the ground, a powerful surge of electricity from the ground moves upward to the...

Students discuss dangerous weather. In this science instructional activity, students decide on which state they want to research and check the Internet for the dangerous weather in that state. Students determine which weather hazard was...

In this lightning learning exercise, students will read information about the different types of lightening and how they are formed. Then students will complete 2 short answer questions.

In this weather worksheet, students read about the mechanics of a hurricane and then complete 4 short answer questions based on the reading.

Students create original short stories that feature distinctive weather phenomena, such as rainbows, snowstorms, tornadoes, thunder and/or lightning. They use a story map, imbedded in this plane, to help them organize their story.

In this rain worksheet, students read about how clouds are seeded to produce rain and the substances used for cloud seeding. Then students complete 3 short answer questions.

Students select a severe weather pattern of interest (tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, lightning, hail, and thunderstorms) and research these patterns to collect data for a report they write in the next lesson.

In this lesson, 5th graders begin to describe the atmosphere;describe weather conditions along with seasonal changes. Students further explain safety precautions during severe weather and go onto Describe patterns of changing weather...

Class members take on the role of jurors in this guided imagery activity designed to be used with chapter 15 of Mississippi Trial, 1955. 

Students determine the distance to a lightning strike. They complete a number of examples that determine the distance to a thunderstorm or lightning strike. They focus on safety during a thunderstorm.

Students explore how weather affects a variety of jobs. Through a series of activity sheets, they determine what occupations create more or less activity because of weather conditions.

Learners make a weather turtle puppet and use it to respond to weather-related questions. They manipulate the turtle to show basic weather vocabulary such as: sunny, windy, rainy, snowy, etc.

Eighth graders research, collect and interpret data about weather statistics. They record that data on spreadsheets. they create Powerpoint presentations on their individual or group research.

Thunderstorms, tornados, blizzards, hurricanes. These extreme forms of weather are the focus of an article on a two-part reading comprehension worksheet. After reading the passage, kids use information in the text to respond to a series...

Young scholars learn about the causes and properties of tornados. Students create a simulation of a tornado and observe its characteristics.

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.

For this severe weather worksheet, students will answer questions about heat transfer in the atmosphere, air masses, and atmospheric pressure. Then students will explore hurricanes and thunderstorms. This worksheet has 6 fill in the...

In this weather crossword puzzle worksheet, students use the 16 clues and the word bank to fill in the blanks in this crossword puzzle.

In this weather worksheet, students use the diagram shown to explain what kinds of clouds form along the different types of air fronts. Then they describe what happens to the temperature when a particular front passes through. Students...

Young scholars pick up science knowledge as they track and examine natural disasters. They keep a daily journal of results and reflections. Students get to follow a real tornado chaser and learn thunderstorm formation. They incorporate...
