For this demonstration, students observe how temperature changes can create a weather front, in particular how the mixing of warm and cold air can produce thunderstorms.

Students discuss the characteristics of storms, including the relationship of weather fronts and storms. Using simple materials, the students develop a model of a simple lightning detection system and analyze their model to determine its...

In this hands-on activity, students use their senses to describe what the weather is doing and to predict what it might do next. After gaining a basic understanding of weather patterns, students will become state park engineers and build...

Young scholars learn that wind and storms can form at the boundaries of interacting high and low pressure air masses. They learn the distinguishing features of the four main types of weather fronts (warm fronts, cold fronts, stationary...

This website provides information about weather.

Read and understand the differences between a cold and a warm front.

Read about how a stationary air front forms when warm and cold air masses meet but neither can overpower the other. Explains what its characteristics are and the impact it can have on weather conditions.

This Oklahoma Climatological Survey explores how air masses form, as well as the weather formations, which tend to appear on the edges of these masses in what is known as a front.

Explore the concepts of climate, cloud, front, dew, fog, humidity, isobar, supercell, and thunderstorm on this site.

Learn the three ingredients that make a large snowstorm or blizzard.
