This instructional activity is divided up into three activities, two of which take place outside. By the end of the instructional activity students will be able to describe weather conditions on a given day and some of the factors that...

By the end of this instructional activity, students will describe the weather for each season. They will also describe how the weather affects the plants, animals, and people during each season. Activities include taking a weather walk,...

This activity increases student knowledge of severe weather and weather forecasting. It emphasizes the importance of student questioning to obtain information. After the introduction to severe weather is made, students will create their...

In this lesson young scholars will build and learn how to use three weather. They will use these instruments to collect weather data over a period of two weeks.

For this lesson, young scholars will witness the creation of a funnel, observe how a funnel moves debris, and learn how a thunderstorm can create tornados.

This resource presents a lesson plan library which holds hundreds of lesson plans organized by grade level and subject area. Often rooted with an Internet research piece, each lesson plan contains specific objectives, procedures,...

Students chart weather conditions, learn how to determine an average temperature, and build paper gliders to observe the effects of wind.

This lesson uses stacking cubes as a way to graph precipitation data, comparing the precipitation averages and seasonal patterns for several locations. Variations on the lesson can accommodate various ages and ability levels. Students...

Students learn about four factors that describe different types of weather -- temperature, wind, precipitation, and sunlight and clouds -- as they explore various weather conditions and find evidence that describes each type of weather...

Students will use weather data they collect to predict future weather. Included in this lesson are a weather forecasting recording sheet and an example of a student's completed work.

This comprehensive website is all about weather including forecasting, weather symbols, lesson plans, types of weather, causes of various kinds of severe weather, weather safety, and more. Check out the links down the left side.

Questions about weather clear up when students use what they learned from their books to create a presentation to share with the rest of the class.

This is an introductory lesson plan to a second grade weather unit. The young scholars will be observing the weather each day for one week and recording their observations in a chart. The students will be integrating information from the...

In the lesson, the students will be learning about weathering and erosion. They will see examples of weathering and erosion and the difference between the two. They will be performing experiments that show weathering and erosion. This...

During this instructional activity, students will discover the differences in four types of weather disasters. They will collect information from selected Internet websites and create a multimedia presentation to demonstrate what they...

In this lesson, daily weather observations are recorded and then summarized at the end of the week.
