High Pressure Air Masses Teacher Resources

Students examine cold, warm, and stationary fronts. They also examine the roles of relative humidity and the way air masses move. They are to create forecasts based on the information they collect. Tapes are shared with the class.

Convection is offered as the reason behind our weather phenomena. This presentation assumes that viewers are familiar with the methods of heat transfer, and is therefore more geared toward middle-school meteorologists. The focus is on...

In this weather activity, students identify with the symbols found on a weather map that show the locations of fronts, high- and low-pressure areas, and various types of precipitation across the United States. Then they use the map shown...

In this weather worksheet, students define an air mass and describe the different types of weather fronts. Students compare and contrast high pressure and low pressure systems. This worksheet has 4 short answer questions.

Students experiment to examine high and low pressure areas. They investigate why a high pressure area seeks a low pressure area.

In this weather worksheet, students review what causes different weather patterns including the more severe weather patterns like tornadoes and hurricanes. Students also calculate relative humidity by using dry and wet bulb temperatures....

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...

Fourth graders study how atmospheric conditions change while naming the things that make the weather change. They investigate the affects of air masses, weather fronts and high/low pressure by looking at weather maps from newspapers.

In this science worksheet, students look at the information carefully in preparation for a formal assessment. The focus is upon defining different aspects of air masses.

In this weather worksheet, students read a brief excerpt that compares the various types of climates found on Earth. Then they explain where the low- and high-pressure systems follow each other throughout the year.

A succinct set of slides covers the main points for your weather unit. From the factors that contribute to conditions, to fronts and extreme occurrences, to the different types of clouds, numerous facts are listed in bullets. The only...

Should the game go on or not? An engaging instructional activity asks small groups to make a decision using weather data. After analyzing a map, an updated forecast, and radar information, groups have to decide whether to cancel a...

Students explore meteorology, discuss Earth's atmosphere, create drawings of the water cycle, create meteorology journals, and role play forecasters. Nine lessons on one page; includes unit test.

Fifth graders study air pressure and learn how it can change the weather. In this air pressure lesson, 5th graders study the given diagrams and complete the experiments to learn how air pressure can change the weather. Students read...

High schoolers explain the process of wave formation and analyze the relationship between the ocean and the atmosphere.  In this oceans lesson students use buoys to cast real time sea state conditions. 

Students investigate basic information about high- and low-pressure fronts and how they affect the weather. They observe weather patterns and cloud formations. Students study the basic pattern of movement of high- and low-pressure...

Students examine weather maps from their state from the past few days. They examine the Highs and Lows on the maps to determine what kind of weather they produce. They use that information to better prepare for their activities and what...

Young scholars discuss movement of air currents and then experiment to create visible models of air currents. Students connect the model to weather patterns.

Learners study weather systems, hurricanes and tropical storms. They predict landfall of hurricanes and tropical storms.

Students are introduced to air masses, with an emphasis on the differences between and characteristics of high - versus low-pressure air systems. Students also hear about weather forecasting instrumentation and how engineers work to...
