Learners study the Earth's climatic system and construct a puzzle that names all of the pieces of the  components involved.  In this Climate lesson, students draw a picture on a puzzle piece depicting a specific component....

Students study basic meteorology concepts. They build a simple barometer to measure air pressure. They explore the concepts of relative humidity, air convection currents and temperature inversions and to discover their connection to...

My forecast is that you'll want to use the resource. Pupils design and create a weather bot as part of a project-based unit. These bots should be able to measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and...

Young scholars create a travelogue of a particular U.S geographic region that includes aspects of population, climate, landforms, culture, famous people, and places as well as any natural resources. They present the travelogue to the class.

Students explain that many different cultures across the world developed their own reasoning for the weather around them. They explore the different cultural beliefs of the sun's cycle and to create their own story of the sun's movement.

Learners study hurricanes and their patterns. In this hurricane lesson, students watch a video clip tracing Hurricane's Ivan's path in Alabama. Learners discuss hurricanes and watch a 3-D video of Hurricane Ivan. Students visit a website...

Learners explore the concept of mathematical models. In this mathematical model lesson plan, students create a mathematical model from data from 4 cities over 15 months. Learners are told they are working for a weather station. ...

Fourth graders investigate the work of a meteorologist and then take on the identity of one to make reports on clouds and temperature.

Fourth graders explore weather patterns by completing an Internet project. In this water cycle lesson, 4th graders read assigned text including a Magic School Bus book about precipitation and water. Students complete a water science...

Students analyze water quality data from real data. In this environmental science lesson, students examine how salinity and dissolved oxygen affect the living organisms in the estuary. They interpret graphs to support or disprove a...

Students reinforce their knowledge of clouds and how rainbows are formed.

Students explore clouds and abstract thinking through painting. This lesson uses higher thinking skills and encourages self expression.

Students use their knowledge of the weather to evaluate information from the newspaper. They also take this knowledge and construct a weather map predicting the next day's weather.

Students create a story that matches the provided temperature data. They use graphed temperatures as the plot for their creative writing story.

Students visualize, in three dimensions, features represented by contour lines on a topographic map. They see that the different elevations shown on a two dimensional topographic map can be used to build a 3-D model.

Students investigate artificially elevated regions or cities around the world to compare histories, cultures, and strategies related to potential flooding disaster.

Students research the physical attributes of Nebraska. They work together to create a brochure highlighting the topic of their choice. They share their brochure to the class.

Student use a variety of resources including print, CD-Rom and Internet information to study a weather process. They design a weather cartoon citing the bibliographic sources from their research.
