Phase Changes of Water
A micro-unit on the phase changes of water includes three laboratory activities. Junior scientists compare the densities of ice and water, and then they do the same for cold and warm water. They examine freezing and boiling temperatures....

How Can Clouds Keep the Air Warmer?
Condensing water warms the air around it. Young scholars consider this concept as they experiment with air temperature around evaporating and condensing water vapor. They simulate the formation of clouds to experience the associated...

Clouds and What They Mean
An excellent resource on cloud types and descriptions could be a valuable addition to your science lesson. After kids learn the correct vocabulary to describe clouds, they complete several worksheets and thermometer activities before...
Curated OER
Does Humidity Affect Cloud Formation?
Students use S'COOL data to identify factors that affect cloud formation. They find a data set using the S'COOL database , and use Excel to manipulate the data. Student isolate relevant data, create meaningful graphs from a spreadsheet,...
Curated OER
DEW POINT
Fourth graders investigate conditions causing saturation and measure the dew point of the atmosphere performing simple experiments.
Curated OER
Dew Point Temp Worksheet
In this temperature worksheet, students complete 3 graphic organizer by determining the dew point temperature based on the dry-bulb and wet-bulb thermometer readings.
Curated OER
Ideal Gas Mixtures
In this idea gas worksheet, students review Dalton's law of partial pressures, vapor pressure, relative humidity, and dew point. Students answer 3 problems.
Curated OER
Weather
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....
Curated OER
Weather Prediction
In this weather learning exercise, students review vocabulary words and concepts associated with predicting the weather. Students understand what a meteorologist studies. This learning exercise has 7 matching, 10 fill in the blank, and 5...

Water Web-- Weather: Something We Talk a Lot About But Can't Change
In this science worksheet, students study weather prediction by reading and completing activities in this 8 page newsletter. Students classify clouds, study weather prediction instruments, learn weather proverbs and signs and learn to...
Curated OER
Relative Humidity & Dew Point
Students use a 24-hour graph of air temperature, relative humidity, and dew point to describe at least one reason why the variables change (or don't change) during the day. They use given scenarios to identify and describe the problems...
Curated OER
Dew Point
Fourth graders investigate saturation conditions and measure the dew point. They conduct an experiment, record data on a worksheet, and measure the dew point in the experiment.
Curated OER
Estimating Altitude of Water Cloud Base
Students conduct an experiment to determine dew point and use a formula to detemine altitude. They construct a chart and predict what altitude clouds would form, given the dew point on the ground.
Curated OER
Physical Characteristics of the Troposphere
Students examine troposphere graphs and mcompare their hypotheses with data collected by weather balloons launched from the NOAA ship, Ronald H. Brown. they write summaries about the physical properties of the troposphere.
Curated OER
Estimating Altitude of Water Cloud Base
Learners perform an experiment to find the dew point at ground level and then make a chart to determine where a cloud would form.
