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, they make their own Anemometer to...

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

Students 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...

Students read the story "Weslandia" by Paul Fleischman, define the term microclimate, gather and record data in various places on school grounds to establish the presence of difference microclimates, analyze and compare microclimates,...

Third graders discover the process thinking about science experiments, and why they are important. They work in small groups using incline planes and a small toy car to design one scientific question that can be answered through...

Students record observations gathered while at a national wildlife refuge. In this lesson on wildlife refuges, students choose an observation spot and record seasonal changes throughout the year.

Students explore air and clouds by watching demonstration. They perform an experiment to measure air pressure changes.

Use real-time data to study factors that affect weather and climate, create weather instruments, and share data with students around the world.

In this lesson students will build and learn how to use three weather. They will use these instruments to collect weather data over a period of two weeks.

Understand weather concepts.

Learn all about the basic meteorological instruments.

Students are introduced to the basics of the Earth's weather. Concepts include fundamental causes of common weather phenomena such as temperature changes, wind, clouds, rain and snow. The different factors that affect the weather and the...

Young scholars explore the design of anemometers and how they are used in measuring the speed of wind. Working in teams of "engineers", they will design, build, and evaluate the effectiveness of their own anemometers, presenting their...
