Pupils read and discuss the novel, "One Windy Wednesday." They complete a variety of activity cards and assignments associated with this novel. Each student draws windy day pictures, make a kite and record weather and kite observations.

Students explore recent changes in the Artic's climate that have been observed by Artic residents. They watch videos, take notes and create a concept map. They also look at historical weather data from a specific Artic community. The...

Young scholars gather high and low temperature readings through email. In this temperature graphing lesson, students use a spreadsheet to input data for a graph. young scholars interpret the graphs to compare and contrast the data from...

Students determine what they know about hurricane formation. They experiment to explain hurricane formation and track a hurricane that forms in the Caribbean Islands.

Fourth graders identify the four kinds of violent storms. Using photographs, they create "eye spy" questions for each and mount them on construction paper. They write a brief summary for each photo and share the questions with the class...

In this science worksheet, students look for the answers to finding the correct temperatures that match the location in the atmosphere.

Middle schoolers investigate how ocean currents affect our world. In this ocean currents lesson, students perform an experiment to show how cold water is near the poles and warm water is near the equator. Middle schoolers use...

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.

Students explore different pathways and consequences of pollutant transport via the weather and water cycles. They observe and record weather information and produce their own weather report for the class.

Young scholars 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...

Students create and record a model of mountain formation. They identify major mountain building formations. Students understand how the Himalaya Mountains were formed, why they are located near Bhutan, and why they are becoming larger.

Fourth graders explore the agents of erosion. They observe rocks that are rough and unweathered and record observations. They investigate rocks rubbed with sandpaper and ones that are not and the effects that the sandpaper has on the...

Seventh graders use the Alice program and complete a world that is damaged after a tornado.  In this atmospheric conditions instructional activity students complete an activity using the Alice program. 

Students make a contingency plan in case of unexpected events such as bad weather. They discuss safety and appropriate conduct.They map out a schedule to ensure that sufficient time is allotted for all activities.

Students analyze art as a cloud pattern activity. In this cloud and art lesson, students view April Gornik's painting The Back of the Storm and make connections between science and art. Students observe cloud patterns for one week and...

Second graders collect daily weather information and introduce them to databases.

First graders investigate soil, sand and silt. In this environment lesson, 1st graders discuss how changes occur in the environment and the effects of weather. Students perform their own investigation and record their predictions,...
