Using the Synoptic Code for the Prediction of Water
High schoolers construct a thermoscreen for the experiment. In this earth science lesson, students make observations and interpret them using synoptic codes. They predict the weather based on gathered information.
Curated OER
Building a Psychrometer
Students create psychrometers to measure the humidity of the air. In this meteorology lesson, students make a wet-bulb thermomter and place it next to a dry-bulb thermometer to measure the relative humidity in the room.

Daily Weather Log
In this weather worksheet, students keep a log of the temperature, precipitation, air pressure, humidity and wind for a fourteen day period. They record each of these measurements twice a day.
Curated OER
Deadly Deserts
In this reading comprehension worksheet, students read a passage regarding different deserts and answer 10 questions. The questions are a mix of true/false, short answer, and matching.
Curated OER
Hands-On Humidity
Students examine why humidity changes throughout the day. They study the concept of relative humidity, absolute humidity, and dew point temperature. They interpret phase diagrams and explain why relative humidity typically falls and...

Rain Forest Adventures
Students identify and describe where tropical rain forests are located and examine the geographical correlation between rainfall and rain forest. They brainstorm what they think they know about tropical rain forests - where they're...
Curated OER
Dripping Wet or Dry as a Bone?
Students use a sponge and water model to explore the concept of relative humidity and create a percent scale. They define humidity and saturation, build a simple humidity/saturation model, collect, predict and interpret data, and create...

Good News - We're on the Rise!
Students build and observe a simple aneroid barometer to discover changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They graph changes in barometric pressure for two weeks and make weather predictions.
Curated OER
Differences between Climate and Weather
Learners collect weather data over weeks, graph temperature data and compare the temperature data collected with averaged climate data where they live.
