Windy Weather
Make wind detectors with paper plates, ribbon, and streamers. Go for walks over an extended period of time to observe and record the effect of the wind on the detectors and other observable objects (leaves, grass, etc.).
PBS
Twirling in the Breeze
Blow classes away with a hands-on lesson investigating wind speed. Learners use common materials to design and construct anemometers. They then test their anemometers and collect data on the wind speed created by a fan.
Polar Trec
Global Snow Cover Changes
Snow is actually translucent, reflecting light off its surface which creates its white appearance. Pairs or individuals access the given website and answer questions about snow cover. They analyze graphs and charts, examine data, and...
Curated OER
Meteorology
Second graders identify and describe the three types of clouds. They discover the type of weather associated with each cloud type as well. They ask questions to complete the lesson.
Curated OER
Wind
Fourth graders watch an experiment that demonstrates the causes of wind. They design and make an original weather craft.
Curated OER
It's Really Heating Up in Here!
Students create and observe a greenhouse effect model and discuss the implications of global warming theory for engineers, themselves and the Earth. They discover that Global warming is becoming an increasing concern as we learn more...
Curated OER
Our Desert Backyard
Students make observations of their own backyard. In this environment lesson, students keep records of the plants and animals they see in their home or school yard. Students make notes of how the weather and environment changes over...
Curated OER
Kaboom!
Students identify the three ingredients of weather.. They create weather vanes, thermometers, and rain gauges.
Curated OER
Blowin' In The Wind
Young scholars predict and hypothesize the reasons for wind movement. After viewing a video, they describe the effects of a high and low pressure system and what makes the wind blow. In groups, they construct instruments that measure...
Curated OER
Measuring the Wind 1
In this science worksheet, students follow the directions and construct a simple instrument to measure the speed of the wind. Students then measure the wind speed and record data for one school week. On other pages students construct a...
Curated OER
And Now, the Weather...
Students collect and analyze data. In this middle school mathematics/science lesson, students collect temperature reading over a 24 hour period. Students analyze the data for mean, median, maximum and minimum.
Curated OER
Comparing Temperature, Pressure, and Humidity
Students investigate data on temperature, pressure, and humidity by downloading information from the ARM Website. Working in groups, they discover how weather impacts life in each of the ARM sites. They record weather data in their...
Curated OER
What Do You Know!
Students experiment using a compass for navigation and consider how various instruments affect how we travel.
Curated OER
Science: What Is a Barometer?
Fourth graders discover how barometers help to predict the weather. Using newspapers, they examine the weather forecast and determine the meaning of high and low as they pertain to pressure. After making cluster diagrams, 4th graders...
Curated OER
You Can Take the Pressure!
Learners construct and use a barometer over a period of 1-2 weeks to investigate and predict upcoming weather from barometric pressure.
Curated OER
This Lesson Is a Breeze, So Don't Blow It!
Young scholars conduct an experiment to show that air is all around us and that wind is the movement of air. They construct a weather vane to determine which direction the wind is blowing.
Curated OER
How Wet Did It Get?
Students measure the rainfall/snowfall on the playground on a rainy/snowy day with a rain/snow gauge. They draw a bar graph representing the amount of water that fell and observe a satellite image of the clouds and local weather system...
Curated OER
Build a Precipitation Gauge
Students build a precipitation gauge. In this weather lesson, students follow step-by-step directions to build a precipitation gauge that can be used to measure snowfall.
