Explore the power of mathematics through this two-week statistics unit. Pupils learn about several climate-related issues and complete surveys that communicate their perceptions. They graph both univariate and bivariate data and use...

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.

Be water wise! Science scholars learn the water cycle on a global scale in part seven of a 13-installment series. The hands-on interactive allows them to explore Earth's water storage, types of precipitation, and the cycling of water...

Take a look at climate change from another angle. Readers learn about the MISR instrument on the Terra satellite and how it studies Earth. Pupils experience how the multiple cameras give scientists multiple views so they can better study...

Students discover how wind is created on earth: changes in temperatures and air pressure. They list good and bad effects of the wind and make a weather vane and practice using it for 2 weeks.

It is unknown if cloud cover increases in response to carbon dioxide levels changing, helping climate change slow down, or if cloud cover decreases, allowing Earth to warm faster. Part four in the series of five lessons has classes...

It's raining! It's pouring! Your class will not be snoring when viewing this presentation. Cloud formation and types are explained in the first half. Forms of precipitation are detailed in the second half. Concepts are explained...

Students research weather proverbs and determine the scientific validity of 3 weather proverbs. They write an essay presenting their reasoning. They interview elderly people to graph the most frequently heard proverbs and theorize...

Students create a poster of a weather-related word.  For this weather lesson, students randomly choose a weather word, define it, and draw a picture of it. They also use Word Art to create the title of their poster.

Fourth graders watch a video about Utah's weather and illustrate the water cycle. They read "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and identify weather words after listening to the weather radio. They create weather measurement instruments...

Students recognize the elements of an analog weather forecast.  In this weather forecasting lesson, students use a website and look for trends, persistence and climatology in weather forecasting.  Students complete a...

Students learn about similarities and differences between different types of weather patterns.  In this weather lesson, students read Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and Weather.  Students create a word search puzzle,...

Young scholars write weather shape poems and sing weather related songs. In 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...

In this data collection and analysis lesson, students observe and graph the weather conditions during one school week, then calculate the average weather temperature. Extensions are included.

In this science worksheet, learners learn about water cycle, weather, clouds, storms and water resources by completing 8 pages of this full color newsletter. Students read a story, study weather maps, learn to make a rain gauge, learn...

Fourth graders measure weather using different instruments and gather information to make science comparisons. In this weather measurement lesson plan, 4th graders have activities they can complete whether they are visual, auditory,...

Students construct a thermoscreen for the experiment. In this earth science lesson, students make observations and interpret them using synoptic codes. They predict the weather based on gathered information.

In this water web activity, students explore, analyze and discuss how weather stations interact with maintaining weather conditions and answer two essay questions and ten multiple choice questions.

In this erosion worksheet, students draw a map of their school ground or neighborhood, mark examples of weathering and erosion, and list the examples on spaces provided. A chart with examples of different types of weathering and erosion...

Second graders explore weather. In this weather lesson, 2nd graders read Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs and participate in four supplemental science activities. Students participate in Internet research, create weather maps,...

Students identify the appropriate clothing to wear in the winter. In this seasonal weather activity, students discuss what warm and cold weather feels like and what clothing is necessary during the specific seasons. Students explore...

Students map and research imaginary islands located in different parts of the world. They describe the weather and climate of their island and show how local currents, water temperatures and waves may influence the weather patterns.

Students understand what the weather phenomenon El Nino is and what causes it. Students recognize how remote sensing technology can detect and predict El Nino. Students discover how El Nino effects weather conditions throughout the globe...

Young scholars predict weather by watching the clouds, and identify different types of clouds.
