You Can Be A Woman Meteorologist

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students complete four activities that are about meteorology. The first activity is for them to explore weather maps. The second activity is for students to discover high-pressure and low-pressure air. The third activity is for them to examine temperature and humidity and build a hygrometer to measure the temperature and humidity. The last activity is for the students to investigate how clouds form.
