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. In 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.

Students 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 instructional activity connects to the skills of graphing...

Fourth graders explore meteorologists. They explore symbols on a weather map and make five day forecasts.

Students study wind speed and collect wind speed data. In this wind speed lesson, students visit a website to learn about the local wind speed forecast for their week. Students discuss wind and wind speed. Students collect wind speed...

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

In this science and language arts worksheet, students analyze 30 words in a word bank which pertain to the atmosphere and weather. Students find the words in a word search. The meaning of the title is unclear.

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.

Students collect, interpret and analyze weather variable data. They describe atmospheric variables that affect evaporation. Students create graphs and analyze the information collected.

Students investigate the characteristics of wind. For this weather lesson, students use poetry and van Gogh's paintings to discuss the movement of wind. Students are introduced to the Beaufort Scale and use the tool to measure the wind...

Students, in groups, evaluate conditions outside the building and inside the classroom using thermometers, barometers, anemometers, etc. They compare interior and exterior conditions. They consider and discuss factors that contribute...

In this science worksheet, students find the vocabulary terms related to the subject of hurricanes. The answers are found by clicking the button found at the bottom of the page.

Fourth graders investigate the attraction between two different charges to explain the concept of lightning in a thunderstorm.

Fourth graders are read a story and answer the comprehension questions about sound and wind. In groups, they make their own wind vane and how to determine the direction of the wind. To end the lesson plan, they make their own Anemometer...

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

Learners explore the ways that engineers study and harness the wind. They study the different kinds of winds and how to measure wind direction. In addition, students learn how air pressure creates winds and how engineers build and test...
