Young scholars learn along with Ms. Frizzle's class. In this Magic School Bus lesson plan, students discover small updrafts by making wind spirals.

Middle schoolers explore Earth science by participating in a weather identification activity. For this scientific instrument lesson, students identify several weather related tools such as the weather vane, thermometer and rain gauge....

Students keep detailed weather records during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. To keep track of the weather, students utilyze weather reports and instuments such as anemometers, compasses, thermometers and rain gauges.

In this activity, studens will use different types of weather gauges and track the local weather for a week. After the week is over, students will collect their samples, analyze the data, and compare their conclusions to local weather...

Students investigate how warm air from a lamp affects a spiral of paper. They determine how the warm air rises while cooler air moves into take its place which creates wind in this Magic School Bus activity.

In this activity, students will make a gauge to measure rainfall and see how much rain falls over several days.

Students discuss weather forecasts and different types of weather. In this weather activity, students observe the weather and learn a weather song. They listen to a story and see weather measurement tools. 

Over a span of two weeks or more, mini meteorologists record weather-related measurements. What makes this particular resource different from others covering similar activities are the thorough details for the teacher and printables for...
