Students discover how weather conditions can give rise to severe storms and tornadoes. They study the different types of severe weather, how they can track conditions in their own neighborhood, and how to prepare for the worst.

Students practice trends forecasting to predict the weather. In this forecasting lesson plan, students learn how meteorologists predict the weather by looking at weather trends. They then predict their own forecast, analyze the results,...

Students explore clouds.  In this weather lesson, students identify the steps in the water cycle, define condensation and evaporation, and relate this information to cloud formation.  Students perform a cloud experiment,...

Students describe how the sun heats the Earth, explain the nature of infrared light, explain how thunderstorms are formed and use infrared maps to predict severe weather.

Young scholars use a thermometer to record temperatures from their homes throughout the city, and then hypothesize reasons for the temperature variations. They use a weather graph worksheet that's imbedded in this lesson to orgainize...

Students explore weather conditions. In this weather investigation activity, students use various search engines to list three facts about weather patterns, new vocabulary words, and a picture of a weather condition. Students use this...

In this science worksheet, students find the possible answers to the questions of weather forecasting. The four scenarios are given for the possible answers.

Test your students' science and/or reading comprehension skills with this activity, which provides a page of information about clouds and cloud classification. Both an earth science teacher and a language arts teacher could use this...

Students investigate cloud formation. In this weather lesson, students examine how clouds are formed. Students participate in experiments that model how water vapor in the air works.

Students examine hurricanes. In this web-based meteorology lesson, students study the relationship between ocean temperature and hurricane intensity. They differentiate between intensity and frequency of hurricanes.

Young scholars play the role of amateur meteorologists and track a hurricane. In this hurricane lesson, learners follow a hurricane by tracking its coordinates on an overhead map. Students work in small groups to place dots on the map...

Fifth graders explore weather forecasting. For a week, 5th graders observe weekly weather forcasts on different television channels. They predict which station is more accurate with their predictions. Students record and chart...

Students investigate methods of weather prediction before modern communication sources. A local elder lectures the class on weather prediction and safety. They document the experience by creating posters. Applying the methods presented...

In this weather worksheet, students are given a chart to complete when observing the weather. Included is the date, the temperature, the pressure, the humidity, the wind speed and direction, the visibility, the cloud type and cover, the...

In this weather instructional activity, students review vocabulary words and concepts associated with predicting the weather. Students understand what a meteorologist studies. This instructional activity has 7 matching, 10 fill in the...

Students examine the year's cycles by observing the four seasons, their distinctive weather patterns that affect our activities and the weather changes that each brings. The fourteen lessons of this unit offer a good opportunity for the...

For this weather worksheet, students conduct an experiment where they record the weather observations for a week. Then they determine the air pressure using an aneroid barometer and estimate the amount of sky covered by clouds. Students...

Meteorologists and the tools they use are the subject of a reading comprehension worksheet that asks kids to read the attached article and respond to a series of comprehension questions.

Snow is actually translucent, reflecting light off its surface which creates its white appearance. Pairs or individuals access the given website and answer questions about snow cover. They analyze graphs and charts, examine data, and...

Students access, generate, process and transfer information utilizing appropriate technologies concerning the four seasons. They analyze and evaluate the program and then create a short PowerPoint Presentation on the information they...

Seventh graders analyze the data from Hurricane Tracking maps. In this earth science lesson, 7th graders plot data points on their maps and predict where the storm will most likely hit. They compare their prediction with the actual storm...

In this math and science worksheet, students calculate three temperatures at a given elevation when told the ground temperature. On two problems they are given the temperature at a specified elevation and students compute the ground...

Pupils observe and discuss the local weather patterns, researching cloud types and weather patterns for cities on the same latitude on the Internet. They record the data for 6-8 weeks on a graph, and make weather predictions for their...

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.
