Can your class predict the weather? Show them how they can come close with a lesson plan about creating weather instruments, including weather vanes, barometers, wind socks, anemometers, and thermometers. Kids research weather patterns...

Exactly what do groundhogs know about weather? Not as much as your science students will after completing these lessons and activities that cover everything from the earth's rotation and the creation of shadows, to cloud...

Fifth graders brainstorm meteorological terms to create a semantic web using SuperPrint. For each topic, they create instruments, such as barometers or psychomotors, that they use to make scientific predictions about the weather. After...

Students, in groups, investigate and demonstrate the science behind the development and characteristics of winter storms by creating a weather report.

Students explore the ways that engineers study and harness the wind. They study the different kinds of winds and how to measure wind direction. In addition, students learn how air pressure creates winds and how engineers build and test...

Fourth graders explore weather by reading weather measurement text. In this barometer lesson plan, 4th graders discuss ways weather is measured on Earth and how these measurements lead to predictions. Students read assigned text, discuss...

Students work in cooperative groups to create a working weather station. Tkey use the weather station to collect weather data over a one-week period. Students compare the data from their weather station to actual weather information...

Fourth graders the symbols that are used on weather maps. They develop five day forecasts based on information they gather from weather maps in the newspaper and on the Internet.

Students study the weather over time in this lesson. In this weather lesson, students record weather information from the newspaper over a month's time. They record the wind speed and direction, the barometric pressure, the air...

Students record weather data and create a five day forecast. Students investigate the roles of meteorologists and identify symbols used on a weather map. After gathering weather data for a week, students will create a five day forecast...

Second graders make daily weather observations, record them with appropriate stickers on a chart, and then summarize them at the end of the week in the form of a bar graph.

Fourth graders explore Earth science by researching weather patterns on the Internet. For this Utah climate lesson, 4th graders discuss why each climate on our planet is exposed to different weather settings and how they are measured....

Students examine what happens when air temperature drops and gets closer to the dewpoint. They perform a lab activity which illustrates the effects on humidity, precipitation and barometric air pressure.

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.

It is unknown if cloud cover increases in response to carbon dioxide levels changing, helping climate change slow down, or if cloud cover decreases, allowing Earth to warm faster. Part four in the series of five lessons has classes...

Students track wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, air temperature, and precipitation for a month using a newspaper. They chart the data over a months time.

Students explore Earth science by researching natural disasters in class. In this cyclone instructional activity, students discuss the creation of cyclones and what their potential destruction can be in the wrong environment. Students...

Students investigate local surface weather conditions. They log weather conditions for thirty days, develop a graph, plot cloud cover, and compare/contrast the graphed lines of various weather factors.

Students are introduced to the science of hurricanes in an effort to highlight how forces change the speed and direction of motion.

Young scholars are introduced to the science of hurricanes in an effort to highlight how forces change the speed and direction of motion. They list facts about hurricanes; including insights about the formation, movement, and impact...

Sixth graders research the average temperatures of different places on Earth. In this earth science lesson plan, 6th graders explain how the sun's heat cause ocean movement. They discuss how temperature change affects the weather we...

Eighth graders gather information on hurricanes that are affecting the world at the time of the lesson. They work together in groups to collect the data and record their information in a table. They are asked questions to finish the lesson.

Pupils explore how technology and science are used to identify, measure, and track powerful tropical storms to better warn and secure people from their impact. They research hurricanes online by tracking the storms on a hurricane website.

Students explain the components that make up a hurricane.
