"Show Me" Missouri's Temperatures
Fourth graders gather climate data about cities from each of Missouri's five geographical regions and use technological tools to translate this data into graphs for further analysis and reflection.
Curated OER
Temperature in the Sun or Shade of the Desert
Third graders use thermometers to measure the air temperature in several
places around the school and then return to the classroom to record the data. They create a bar graph and discuss their findings about the air temperature in the...
Curated OER
The Air Up There
Learners observe the weather over a period of two weeks. They gather local weather data and calculate the mean and average figures from the data. They prepare a graph with their observations.

The Big Climate Change Experiment Lesson 3: Climate Change Lines of Evidence
Consider the preponderance of evidence when making a verdict. The third of five lessons in Unit 1: The Big Climate Change Experiment focuses on the evidence for climate change. Learners study graphs, diagrams, and pictures regarding...
Curated OER
Weather v. Climate
Ninth graders discuss the differences between climate and weather as a class. Using data they collected, they create a graph of the data to share with the class over a specific time period. They compare and contrast this data with...
California Mathematics Project
Meteorology
See how estimation is essential to making temperature weather maps. Scholars use ratios and rates of change to estimate temperatures at locations where temperature readings have not been made. They connect this idea to linear functions.

Good Weather
For this graphing data worksheet, students complete a temperature chart and then answer two questions about the weather for that week.
Curated OER
Historical Temperatures
Young scholars research historical regional temperatures for their current season. In this historical weather lesson, students conduct weather station and Internet research to learn about historical regional temperatures. Young scholars...
