Students examine how wind can suspend rain and hail in clouds. They focus on safety precautions they can take to protect them from the hazards of thunderstorms.

Students investigate the formation of rain. They experiment by boiling water in a tea kettle and placing ice cubes and water in a pan. They hold the pan of water over the steaming spout so that the steam strikes the bottom and sides of...

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 explore air quality. In this environmental lesson, students observe a simulation of air pollution by blowing into a jar (with a straw) that has chalk dust. Students discuss how air quality can effect the way we breathe.

Students study themselves in a mirror paying close attention to every attribute on their face. In this self portrait lesson students create a self portrait the same way as Rembrandt has done many times. Students also ask themselves a...

Students examine the major concepts related to the water cycle in this lesson. They recognize and define evaporation, condensation, precipitation and the natural cycles that occur as weather. They also participate in an activity of...

Pupils answer short answer questions about the water cycle and other cycles. In this water cycle lesson plan, students explore clouds, rain, evaporation, and more.

Pupils identify the various states of water and its natural flow downward. As a class, students take digital pictures of different forms of water and create a multimedia presentation describing their photographs. Groups of pupils perform...

Fourth graders investigate the attraction between two different charges to explain the concept of lightning in a thunderstorm.

Learners watch a demonstration on air pressure, discuss it, and do a worksheet to reinforce it.

In this PowerPoint, students participate in a game with a quiz show format in which they answer questions about water. Topics include the water cycle, bodies of water, characteristics of water, and how water relates to weather...

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."

In this language arts assessment activity, students complete a 25 question online interactive exam. Included are sentence completion, matching words with topics and vocabulary. Words used on this test are standard in the UK but may be...

Students simulate the precipitation process by playing a game. They simulate the behavior of actual cloud drops and rain drops.

High schoolers explore temperature variation in lakes and deal with the data.

Middle schoolers identify and describe the steps in the water cycle. They discover the sun as the source of the cycle. They work together to create their own water cycle model.

In this Jupiter learning exercise, students read a passage about the environment and atmosphere of Jupiter. Students then answer several multiple choice questions about the passage.

Students track an ozone event in Groton, CT. They compare weather changes and the subsequent ozone levels. Also, they make comparisons and determinations about ozone levels.

Students complete activities to study wind intensity. In this wind study lesson, students discuss wind speed and direction. Students then build a kite and windsock to help them study wind intensity. Students learn to use a wind meter for...

For this analogies worksheet, students read the word pairs and choose the answer that best expresses a relationship similar to the original pair.

In this climate changes worksheet, students review the different events such as volcanic eruptions and El Nino that change the climate. This worksheet has 5 multiple choice and 5 short answer questions.

Students create a terrarium to examine the stages of the water cycle. In small groups, they plant and water a seed in an enclosed plastic container. Each day they diagram and write observations of the terrarium using water cycle vocabulary.

Students explore the different forms that water can take and conduct simple experiments to demonstrate some of its properties in each state. They watch a short video that illustrates some of these concepts.

Second graders create their own science textbooks. They work in small, cooperative science teams to plan and create their textbooks. In addition, they photograph their group work, projects, materials and specimens, and other images.
