Investigation 6 - Collecting Weather Data
Fourth graders collect data for two weeks. They start seeing patterns and make predictions. They can predict what the weather be like the next day and for the next few days. They see if their predictions were correct from the previous day.
Curated OER
Student Weather Journal
Students recognize different types of cloud patterns and associate these patterns with certain types of weather. They predict the weather for the next 6 to 24 hours. They then improve their observation skills as they check on the weather...
Curated OER
Gathering Weather Information
Students watch a video of a recent weather disaster. Using the internet, they work together to examine the weather forecast for tomorrow and next week and discuss why it is important to know the weather. In groups, they use weather...
Curated OER
Earth's Weather
Seventh graders learn how solar radiation, latitude, and other factors affect weather. They break into six groups and are assigned a topic to research and to present their findings orally.

Identifying the Relationship Between Black Carbon and the Weather
Students identify the relationship between black carbon and the weather. In this investigative lesson students compare samples of black carbon with a color-scale and analyze others samples.
Texas Instruments
Measuring Air Pressure Lab
Your class can investigate the weather through an experiment. In this chemistry lesson, learners collect data on air pressure and relate it to the weather. They collect data with the TI containing a barometer probe.
Curated OER
Splish, Splash Poetry
Young scholars write weather shape poems and sing weather related songs. For this creative writing lesson, students read the book, It's Raining, It's Pouring and list weather words they heard in the story. Young scholars use the writing...
Curated OER
Air Pressure & Barometers
Fourth graders observe, measure, and record data on the basic elements of weather over a period of time (i.e., precipitation, air temperature, wind speed and direction, and air pressure). Then, they make a barometer and keep record of...
Curated OER
Meterology -- Atmosphere
Fourth graders discover how weather predictions are made. They list the responsibilities of a meteorologist. They identify weather instruments and state their functions.
Curated OER
Tracking Temperature
Students explore how to read a thermometer and what the instrument does. They practice measuring hot and cold objects and discuss changes in the weather based on temperature.
Curated OER
Too Heavy For Me
Students explore the different arrangement of air molecules in high and low air pressure masses. They compare the temperature of high and low pressure masses and discover how a barometer works.
American Chemical Society
Keeping Warm in the Cold
Bundle up to stay warm! A fun-filled investigation opens with a group discussion about heat loss and using materials to prevent it. Young scientists then view an animation about thermometers and the Celsius scale and practice reading...

How Do Weather Conditions and Lunar Cycles Affect Fishing Success?
Middle schoolers use weather measuring devices to record and study weather conditions at different locations, during different times. They attempt to draw conclusions about the relationship between weather conditions, lunar cycle and...
Curated OER
Surface Meteorological Observation System (SMOS)
Students 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.
Curated OER
Surface Meteorological Observation System (SMOS)
Students monitor local surface weather conditions for at least 30 days. They interpret the data by graphing it and detemining percentages.

Making Sense of Sensors
Have small groups in your class construct working hygrometers as an example of the benefits of using sensors in engineering. This activity can be used during a weather unit when covering humidity or in a STEM activity as a preparation...
Curated OER
Weather Predictions
Fourth graders explore meteorologists. They explore symbols on a weather map and make five day forecasts.
Curated OER
Everyone Knows It's Windy
Learners create an anemometer, an instrument that measures wind speed.
Curated OER
Keep Your Eye on the Sky
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.
Curated OER
Make a Rain Stick
Students construct a rain stick. For this weather lesson, students make a rainstick from toothpicks, paper towel tubes, and tape. Students demonstrate the different sounds rain can make.
