Why Do We Have Weather?
Convection is offered as the reason behind our weather phenomena. This presentation assumes that viewers are familiar with the methods of heat transfer, and is therefore more geared toward middle-school meteorologists. The focus is on...

Weather Forecasting
Learners examine cold, warm, and stationary fronts. They also examine the roles of relative humidity and the way air masses move. They are to create forecasts based on the information they collect. Tapes are shared with the class.

Weather Map
Ninth graders utilize several different types of maps to forecast weather conditions specific areas of the country. Air masses, wind, cloud types, fronts, and the pH of the rain is explored in this lesson.

United States Air Masses
In this science worksheet, students participate in an activity using the sheet that increases the knowledge of weather and is based on achieving the academic standard of identifying air masses.

Fronts and Air Masses Worksheet
In this science worksheet, students answer the questions related to the identification of air masses and how to define them.
Curated OER
Air Masses & Fronts
Students use a set of maps depicting a front passing through the state to identify two distinct air masses and the frontal boundary. They then deterine whether the front is moving in time and in what direction the front is moving.

Fronts
Fourth graders define cold and warm fronts, explain how they are formed and they ways that they affect the weather.
