For this Earth science worksheet, 4th graders answer multiple choice questions about temperature, weather instruments, heat, light, and more. Students complete 25 questions.

Students keep detailed weather records during the fall migration of the monarch butterfly. They compare weather conditions to the days they do and do not see monarchs. As a class, they graph and analyze data and send it to a university...

Second graders become aware that thermometer liquids expand or contract as temperature affects them.

Students build a model of a bridge and test the amount of weight it support. They identify different types of bridges: suspension, arch, girder, truss, cantilever, cable-stayed and moveable.

This activity could be used in a home economics class to teach learners about sewing and clothing. Using this 10 question instructional activity, learners explore the function of a sewing machine, and plan a project.  

Students watch the weather. In this science observation lesson, students collect data regarding the local weather and create their own weather forecasting video.

Second graders explore the types of tools that scientists use t o study weater,

Students recognize different types of cloud patterns and associate these patterns with certain types of weather. They predict the weather for the next 6 to 24 hours. They then improve their observation skills as they check on the weather...

High schoolers keep a detailed record of weather patterns during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. The use of weather reports is used to form a class data sheet. This instructional activity connects to the skills of graphing...

Students construct a sound speaker. For this technology lesson, students use magnet wires, a phono plug, a battery, and sandpaper to construct a homemade sound speaker.

Fourth graders relate myths to weather phenomenon. They write and illustrated a weather myth and present it to the class.

The purpose of the lesson is to introduce young scholars to what causes wind and how it can be measured. Students will create a wind gauge and collect data on "wind speed". Detailed instructions are included as well as examples of the...

Simple guidelines for building several weather-related tools: anemometer, wind vane, barometer, rain gauge, snow gauge, and thermometer. After building your tools, follow experiment steps and record your findings on the Scholastic...

This site shows how to make weather tools for your own weather station. You can learn how to make a barometer, rain gauge, anemometer, wind scale tool, wind streamer, and wind chime.

Students are guided in how to build their own weather station that will measure temperature, humidity, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, and wind direction and speed.

Conduct an experiment and investigate how air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, solar radiation and precipitation affect evaporation. Graph the data collected during the experiment.

Use real-time data to study factors that affect weather and climate, create weather instruments, and share data with students around the world.

Make a wind vane, rain gauge, and barometer and learn how to measure wind direction, rainfall, and air pressure.

During this lesson, students will gather data from temperature and water gauges set up on the playground to learn about weather patterns. Then students will build a spreadsheet with data related to temperature, wind direction and amount...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provides a photo library of severe weather formations and the instruments that measure them. Here you can find a photograph of a solar-powered Surface Automated Measurement (SAM) site....

This page, provided by the Franklin Institute, shows you how to become an amateur meteorologist. Directions on how to construct a weather station include the barometer, hygrometer, rain gauge, weather vane, and compass.

This site, which is provided for by the Franklin Institute Online, gives a format for keeping a weather journal.

This photo shows an anemometer, a weather measurement device used to gauge the strength of the wind.
