Here is a lesson on the climate zones and geography of Arkansas. In it, learners look at maps (embedded) of different climate zones found throughout Arkansas. They engage in discussions regarding how global warming and climate change is...

Pupils develop an understanding of related weather processes such as wind, cloud cover, and temperature using STEDII data and instrumentation. In addition, they integrate mathematical calculations to produce a forecast map.

Students study how to use the Internet as a static information collection tool, to enhance the literature stories on the weather and study how to use the calculator.

Students read and relate the poem, "Clouds" by Aileen Fisher to a demonstration on cloud formation. They create clouds in jars using ice water and matches then discuss the ways clouds can be used to predict weather.

Fourth graders identify the conditions that create rain. They read and discuss weather records, and write a news article that includes factual information fom one of the listed weather records.

Students observe weather patterns, collect data, and make a weather predictions for various locations on a map.

Students examine and use basic weather equipment and concepts and create a weather forecast. They then incorporate technology effectively into their forecast. Students use a students's trade book as a substitute for the textbook.

Students examine common trends in climate across the U.S. They identify the anomalies in hot-cold temperature differences in the U.S and locate them on the map using latitude and longitude coordinates.

A diagram of a mountain range and the prevailing winds is shown at the top of the page. Meteorology pupils describe the weather conditions at different points on the diagram. They explain the El Nino effect and why evaporation and...

Learners research weather patterns, predict the weather for a US city and write a weather forecast that be presented to the class. The forecast should explain their weather prediction and the weather patterns and conditions it is based on.

Ninth graders investigate what high-tech tools are used to gather weather data and make weather forecasts. They view a video and a PowerPoint presentation, and conduct research on a cloud chart website. Students make local weather...

Students study weather forecasting. In this weather lesson plan, students explore forecasting weather methods and do a forecast. Students study weather reports and discuss the elements of a forecast. Students study the method of...

High schoolers study the weather conditions before, during, and after cold front passage. Two cold front examples are provided so that comparisons can be made. They are divided in two large groups. Each group studies a different cold...

Students determine the difference between a country, state, and a city while recording the weather conditions for their school in Nebraska. They examine weather for another school in the state while practicing using weather equipment to...

Fourth graders measure wind speed, air pressure, humidity, temperature, and wind direction. They compare their observations with those of actual weather forecasts.

Students explore El Nino and take the role of a reporter gathering the facts for a news story. Reports are presented orally, like a newscast, written or in whatever form the teacher prefers.

Young scholars discuss the different types of storms that can hit land. They locate specific coordinates on a plane grid. They discuss lonsgitude and latitude to plot the coordinates of a tropical storm. They practice finding...

Fourth graders explore weather patterns by completing an Internet project. In this water cycle lesson, 4th graders read assigned text including a Magic School Bus book about precipitation and water. Students complete a water science...

Students determine what they know about hurricane formation. They experiment to explain hurricane formation and track a hurricane that forms in the Caribbean Islands.

Learners listen to a transcript of an interview about an upswing in hurricanes with Stanley Goldenberg, a researcher with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. students participate in a series of discussion questions.

Learners make weather predictions using the climatology method. In this climatology lesson, students review using trends and persistence when forecasting weather. Learners discuss the climatology method for forecasting and complete the...

Learners collect and record temperatures throughout the school. Using this information they compare and contrast the temperatures recorded from various spots throughout the school.

Students explore energy and nutrient flow. In this science lesson, students diagram the flow of energy through food chains and food webs. Students discuss the importance of energy flow in Earth's ecosystems.

Sixth graders write in a journal using weather observations as the focus, they develop writing techniques in addition to scientific observation skills.
