Fronts and Air Masses Worksheet
In this science worksheet, students answer the questions related to the identification of air masses and how to define them.
Curated OER
Weather Map
Ninth graders utilize several different types of maps to forecast weather conditions specific areas of the country. Air masses, wind, cloud types, fronts, and the pH of the rain is explored in this lesson plan.
Curated OER
Air Masses & Fronts
Students identify two distinct air masses and the frontal boundary and determine whether the front is moving in time and in what direction the front is moving.
Curated OER
Air Masses & Fronts
Students use a set of maps depicting a front passing through the state to identify two distinct air masses and the frontal boundary. They then deterine whether the front is moving in time and in what direction the front is moving.
Curated OER
Fronts
Fourth graders define cold and warm fronts, explain how they are formed and they ways that they affect the weather.
Curated OER
Cold Fronts And Warm Fronts
Students simulate the movement of cold and warm fronts as they listen to a story about the weather and Mr. Sun. They brainstorm the characteristics of each type of front then write about which front they would prefer if they were a...

Predicting Storms and Weather
Young scholars use weather pattern worksheets to research how weather is predicted. In this weather prediction lesson plan, students predict the weather based on the wind, rain, currents, and other patterns.
Curated OER
Movement of Fronts
Students use a demonstration in order to learn abou the movement of weather fronts.

Meteorology
Fourth graders study how atmospheric conditions change while naming the things that make the weather change. They investigate the affects of air masses, weather fronts and high/low pressure by looking at weather maps from newspapers.
Curated OER
Earth Science - Weather
Students build an understanding of the dynamics and composition of the atmosphere and its local and global processes influencing climate and air quality. They analyze air masses and the life cycle of weather systems.

Quiz: Weather Prediction
In this science worksheet, 3rd graders will focus on the weather. Students will respond to ten fill in the blank questions regarding weather prediction.
Curated OER
Clouds
Young scholars explore clouds. In this weather lesson, students identify the steps in the water cycle, define condensation and evaporation, and relate this information to cloud formation. Young scholars perform a cloud experiment,...
Curated OER
Dryline Characteristics
Learners view animations of several atmospheric variables (e.g., temperature, rainfall) during a cold front passage and locate the dryline, determine its direction of movement, and list at least two weather conditions associated with the...
Curated OER
High and Low: Pressures and Fronts
Students investigate basic information about high- and low-pressure fronts and how they affect the weather. They observe weather patterns and cloud formations. Students study the basic pattern of movement of high- and low-pressure...
Curated OER
Meteorology
Seventh graders examine the job of meteorologists. They decide which characteristics of the atmosphere that meteorologists focus on. They use local weather maps from newspapers to predict weather in their area.
Curated OER
Introduction to Climatology
Young scholars are introduced to the topic of climatology. In groups, they use the Digital Atlas of Idaho to identify the layers of the atmosphere and review concepts of weather. To end the lesson, they examine different photographs...
