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...

Students 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.

Learners 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 instructional activity compares the actual temperatures to the wind chill after factoring in katabatic winds in Beacon Valley. Scholars learn to calculate...

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

Learners 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...

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.

Students explore the concepts of weather. They investigate lightening formation, construct weather maps and evaluate weather monitoring equipment. Students examine careers related to meteorology.

Students discover how wind is created on earth: changes in temperatures and air pressure. They list good and bad effects of the wind and make a weather vane and practice using it for 2 weeks.

Students construct a thermoscreen for the experiment. For this earth science lesson, students make observations and interpret them using synoptic codes. They predict the weather based on gathered information.

In this science worksheet, students look for the data that is needed to fill in the graphic organizer. The prefixes are given that are needed to sort the information as it is collected.

Young scholars participate in an hands-on construction of an instrument to measure wind speed.

Students work in groups to make an instrument the Meteorologists use to measure the speed of the wind after the teacher reads them a poem about the wind. Students then review vocabulary that they studied from their lesson.

Learners investigate the temperature and wind data locally, nationally, and internationally and compare these conditions to those on Mars. Conclusions are drawn about the differences of these conditions and the causes for the variance...

Fourth graders watch an experiment that demonstrates the causes of wind. They design and make an original weather craft.

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 create an anemometer, an instrument that measures wind speed.

High schoolers keep a detailed record of weather patterns during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. The use of weather reports is used to form a class data sheet. This lesson connects to the skills of graphing and critical...
