Students explore Earth science by completing a could identification activity. In this weather activity, students discuss the different forms of measurement for the weather of Earth. Students discuss global warming and examine a list of...

Students gain an understanding of air pressure. In this science lesson plan, students define weather, understand pressure, specifically air pressure, demonstrate the pushing power and other properties of air, and learn how a barometer is...

Blow classes away with a hands-on lesson investigating wind speed. Learners use common materials to design and construct anemometers. They then test their anemometers and collect data on the wind speed created by a fan.

Young scholars keep detailed weather records during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. To keep track of the weather, students utilyze weather reports and instuments such as anemometers, compasses, thermometers and rain gauges.

Second graders study the basic components of weather. They construct a thermometer and anemometer to measure temperatures, precipitation, and wind speed. In addition, 2nd graders discover how to find these components on weather maps.

Students design a chart to use to record the weather for five days. They then build an anemometer to record wind speed and discover why they are used for this purpose.

Students play the role of weather personalities by making five day forecasts based on data gathered from observations, weather instruments, and weather maps. Each day a small group makes a class forecast for the next day and reviews the...

Monarch butterfly populations have decreased by 90 percent over the past 20 years due to misuse and ineffectiveness of some pesticides. Given the challenge to increase pesticide safety and effectiveness, the class, through discussion,...

Learners explore Earth science by participating in a weather identification activity. In this scientific instrument lesson, students identify several weather related tools such as the weather vane, thermometer and rain gauge. Learners...

Students collect weather data over a thirty day period to gain an increased understanding of the weather patterns in their area. Once the data is collected, students post their finding online using a web tool. Finally, students attempt...

Students conduct an experiment. In this wind measurement lesson, students learn about instruments that measure the wind and then make a weather vane. Students record wind speed over a few days.

Throughout this earth science exam, high-school geologists complete a series of multiple choice and short answer questions about the solar system, atmosphere, and earth system. This is an amazing test, as are all of the exams developed...

Learners engage in this weather predicting lesson. They discover instrumentation used in the meteorological science. With this knowledge, they will create their own "low-tech" versions of weather instrumentation such as thermometers,...

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.

Exploring the weather has never been more intriguing! Whether you are looking for a quick glance at the 10-day forecast, trying to figure out if lightning is heading your way, or wondering what the pollen count is, you will find out...

Students make an anemometer, barometer, and wind catcher to see how wind and air pressure are related. In this wind lesson plan, students use these tools to measure the wind speed.

In Beacon Valley, katabatic winds regularly knock fit adults to the ground. The lesson compares the actual temperatures to the wind chill after factoring in katabatic winds in Beacon Valley. Scholars learn to calculate wind chill and...

Students build an anemometer and measure wind speed. In this wind speed lesson, students build an anemometer using the student instruction sheet. Students visit the Alaska windspeed website and look up the wind speed forecast. Students...

Students keep detailed weather records during the fall migration of the monarch butterfly. They compare weather conditions to the days they do and do not see monarchs. As a class, they graph and analyze data and send it to a university...

In this weather activity, students review vocabulary words and concepts associated with predicting the weather. Students understand what a meteorologist studies. This activity has 7 matching, 10 fill in the blank, and 5 short answer...

Students develop the skill of recording weather observations. Not only students be responsible for recording visual observations of the sky, but also collecting and recording weather instrument data.

Students recognize different types of cloud patterns and associate these patterns with certain types of weather. They predict the weather for the next 6 to 24 hours. They then improve their observation skills as they check on the weather...

Students write newspaper articles using a "weather record" worksheet and information they find in newspapers.

Fourth graders relate myths to weather phenomenon. They write and illustrated a weather myth and present it to the class.
