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.

Simple guidelines for building several weather-related tools: anemometer, wind vane, barometer, rain gauge, snow gauge, and thermometer. After building your tools, follow experiment steps and record your findings on the Scholastic...

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

Build six different instruments to collect meteorological data for the weather in your area.

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.

From anemometers to weather satellites this resource identifies several tools used in measuring or forecasting the weather.

A look back in time at weather instruments used in previous centuries. Includes pictures and descriptions of instruments from Franklin Institute's historical collection.

Students are guided in how to build their own weather station that will measure temperature, humidity, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, and wind direction and speed.

This site shows how to make weather tools for your own weather station. You can learn how to make a barometer, rain gauge, anemometer, wind scale tool, wind streamer, and wind chime.

Information on what weather is to begin with, then progresses to how scientists can predict the weather. Common ways to predict weather are also included such as use of a barometer and rain gauge.

Understand weather concepts.

Learn all about the basic meteorological instruments.

Make your own anemometer like meteorologists use to measure the speed of wind. Includes full list of materials, procedures, and scientific explanation of what makes wind.

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...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart asks students what the weather outside is today, offers weather vocabulary, and a practice quiz. There are links to websites included.

Learners 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 findings...

Nice brief description of this wind speed device and the directions to make your own.

Learn about wind and create an anemometer.

With this science fair project measure the effect of wind speed on how quickly an object cools. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction, followed by a section on...

Learn about the tools meteorologist use to predict changes in the weather patterns. Understand how these tools help them give us an accurate forecast.

Explains what an anemometer is used for and the different models that have been developed since it was first invented.
