There has been a huge solar energy spill! Let's go outside to play in it. This lesson includes multiple experiments showcasing solar and wind energies. Scholars build a solar heater and an anemometer before testing the results. The...

Using a teacher-built wind tunnel constructed from a paper concrete tube form, a fan, and a balance, individuals determine the amount of drag their rocket design will experience in flight. Pupils make modifications to increase the...

Through watching several classic air pressure demonstrations, middle schoolers determine that high pressure areas move toward lower pressure areas, heated air causes a drop in pressure, and forces exist when pressures are unequal....

For this wind worksheet, students construct a wind speed and direction indicator. They calibrate it using a Beaufort wind scale and take at least five observations/measurements in the school yard. They answer questions about their results.

In this wind worksheet students study a wind rose and graphs for Boston and answer several short answers on prevailing winds. 

In this air pressure and wind worksheet, students answer fifteen questions about how air pressure is measured, what it is, the reasons for changes in air pressure and the weather as air pressure changes. They also answer questions about...

A diagram of a mountain range and the prevailing winds is shown at the top of the page. Meteorology pupils describe the weather conditions at different points on the diagram. They explain the El Nino effect and why evaporation and...

Pupils interpret maps and graph data related to volcanic ash. Then they analyze the importance of wind speed and the dangers of the ash to both life, air temperature, and technology. 

In this reading guide worksheet set, learners complete short answer questions before, during, and after reading Leo Lionni's Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse. They examine the parts of the book, make predictions, list new words, check...

In this wind speed worksheet, students walk around the school with a weather vane or wind sock and record the speed of wind in different places. Students fill in a chart and write one conclusion.

In this wind vane worksheet, students follow directions to use a straw, index card, tape, and a pin to make a wind vane. Students follow 4 sets of directions.

For 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...

In this trig applications worksheet, students solve 6 word problems about trigonometry.  Students determine wind speed, angle of elevation and depression, and speed of airplanes using trigonometric functions.

In this weather learning exercise, learners keep a log of the temperature, precipitation, air pressure, humidity and wind for a fourteen day period. They record each of these measurements twice a day.

In this global wind patterns instructional activity, students take notes on the wind patters in the southern and northern hemispheres. They indicate the latitude the winds occur at, the pressure, the characteristics and the direction the...

In this hurricane worksheet, students read and analyze satellite images of hurricane Rita. They complete 4 short answer questions about it.

In this earth science lesson, students study a satellite image of hurricane Isabel and write answers to 5 questions that follow. They match predictions to the map locations.

Challenge young meteorologists to apply their knowledge of weather to build their own weather stations. The resource provides the directions to build a weather station that contains a wind vane, barometer, thermometer, and rain...
