Students work in groups to interpret weather maps. They use latitude and longitude readings to complete a worksheet together and turn in the worksheet along with the maps and a rubric.

Middle schoolers investigate local surface weather conditions. They log weather conditions for thirty days, develop a graph, plot cloud cover, and compare/contrast the graphed lines of various weather factors.

Fourth graders analyze how summer and winter storms are different. In this weather lesson, 4th graders construct a winter storm simulation box and a summer storm bottle and record the temperature and barometer readings. The directions to...

Fourth graders define cold and warm fronts, explain how they are formed and they ways that they affect the weather.

Learners describe the day's weather and observe their responses as they are written on the board. They brainstorm all different types of weather and how differences in weather determine what types of clothing we wear to school each day....

Students identify the job of a meteorologist. In this meteorologist lesson plan, students read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and view clips of weather forecasts. Students visit the Weather Channel website and sing a weather song....

In this weather worksheet, students participate in 8 general weather-related activities. Students also answer 5 yes/no questions about weather.

In this cold quiz worksheet, students complete a six question multiple choice on-line interactive quiz about cold places and cold weather.

Students explore changes and how to adapt to them. They discuss the seasons, changes in the weather, and different stages of matter. Students write a poem about change. Additional cross curriculum activities are listed.

Students use real-time weather maps to determine the likelihood of acid rainfall in a region. Students apply their understanding of interaction between weather systems, land and air pollution, to address acid rain and the effects on...

In this weather disasters worksheet, pupils match words to definitions about weather disasters. Students complete 10 matches total.

Students charts the rainfall averages on either side of a mountain range. In this water cycle activity, students discover that mountain ranges affect weather patterns. Students pretend they are air traffic controllers and must...

Second graders explore the types of tools that scientists use t o study weater,

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

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...

Students use temperature, cloud cover and other weather data from the S'COOL website to statistically analyze weather around the country. They use computers to calculate and graph standard deviations, means and modes of the weather...

Students complete a unit on clouds and a report about one type of cloud. They collect data through observation about different types of cloud cover and then create a spreadsheet to reflect their observations over a 2 week period.

Students use the general climate section of the Digital Atlas of Idaho. Then they identify and interpret some basic concepts about climatology. Students also read through the information contained in the Digital Atlas on Climatology....

Young scholars examine the different types of satellites, cloud formations and weather patterns.  In this weather lesson plan students use the Internet to research weather satellites, then write an article and create graphs. 

In this weather worksheet, students read about the mechanics of a hurricane and then complete 4 short answer questions based on the reading.

Students examine what happens when air temperature drops and gets closer to the dewpoint. They perform a lab activity which illustrates the effects on humidity, precipitation and barometric air pressure.

Outer space may be a lot closer than you think! Science scholars model the layers of the atmosphere using transparencies to gain insight into the scale of space. The resource includes ideas to tailor the activity to the skill level of...

Young scholars investigate the relationship of the steps in the water cycle, and create a simulation of the water cycle in a jar.

Earth science explorers design an experiment to demonstrate that the albedo of a surface affects its temperature. They test to find out if moisture on the surface affects temperature. They discover whether or not concrete or asphalt heat...
