Students research hurricanes. Students explore the stages of hurricanes, the Weather Forecasting Center, and tracking of hurricanes. They analyze information and produce a public service announcement educating the public on hurricane...

Students are introduced to wind and wind movement by observing, predicting, and experimenting with simple materials.

Students complete four activities that are about meteorology. The first activity is for them to explore weather maps. The second activity is for students to discover high-pressure and low-pressure air. The third activity is for them to...

Young scholars analyze meteorological data and arrive at conclusions using animations of dewpoint temperatures and winds. They view an animation and determine the preferred location(s), if any, for the advection of moisture into the...

Students identify the three ingredients of weather.. They create weather vanes, thermometers, and rain gauges.

Fourth graders discover how barometers help to predict the weather. Using newspapers, they examine the weather forecast and determine the meaning of high and low as they pertain to pressure. After making cluster diagrams, 4th graders...

Students predict the amount of snowfall for the week and measure snowfall.  In this measuring snowfall lesson, student use a precipitation gauge to measure the week's snowfall; and analyze the data to determine whether or not...

Students study hurricanes and how scientists predict them.  In this hurricane lesson students read an article on hurricanes, complete an activity and take a quiz.

Students study lightening and the history behind how it was used for electricity.  In this electricity lesson students complete several experiments on the invention of the lightning rod.

Students use NASA satellite data to compare water vapor over the United States.  In this data analysis lesson students use an Excel spreadsheet to map their data. 

Students observe which of ten types of clouds are visible and how much of the sky is cloud covered. They see that by observing clouds, we can get information about temperature, moisture, and wind conditions in different places in the...

Learners make a barometer and write a paragraph describing how they did it.

Students strategize storm safety. For this safety lesson, students research sever storms. Students create a presentation to share what information they found.

Students investigate the use of zip code/city searches to locate local weather forecasts. They design icons to be used on a classroom forecast poster.

Fourth graders investigate conditions causing saturation and measure the dew point of the atmosphere performing simple experiments.

Students explore erosion. Through multi-media and hands-on activities, students identify the effects of wave erosion and hurricanes on a barrier island. Students watch a video and create a cause and effect chart of their observations. ...

Fourth graders discover how weather predictions are made. They list the responsibilities of a meteorologist. They identify weather instruments and state their functions.

Students write their own newspaper article about a weather story using newspapers and a weather records worksheet.

Students make a thermometer and write a paragraph about how they did it.

Learners construct a barometer and collect data on the changes in air pressure. They work is small groups using plastic tubing, corks, and green food coloring. They then use a formula to convert inches of mercury to barometric pressure...

Seventh graders role play the roles of naval engineer apprentices. In groups, they work together to design a ship which cannot be damaged by freezing ice. They use the internet to research the weather and ocean conditions of the water...

Young scholars experiment with air saturation. In this earth science lesson, students first complete an activity which teaches humidity. Then they use the scientific method to create their own experiments to test how long it...

Young scholars use a demonstration in order to learn abou the movement of weather fronts.

Young scholars review various pieces of artwork to determine the location and weather of the location portrayed. Using a Harris painting, they identify the sources of power and discuss solutions for using modern technology to solve any...
