Students analyze wind barbs and determine which way the wind is blowing and how hard the wind is blowing. They access near real time wind data and pollutant animations to track the transport and destination of pollutants.

Learners select at least 6 cities from around the world to keep track of their high and low temperatures over a period of time.

Students utilize problem solving strategies that emphasis writing in mathematics, and strategies that have students make decisions and draw conclusions. They connect math to weather and climate topics.

Learners explore volcanoes, hurricanes, and tornadoes through the use of the Internet.

Fourth graders interpret the weather data they gathered in Investigation 6. They take an average of each component in each season. They compare the same components of each season and write the differences they see between the seasons.

Fourth graders collect data for two weeks. They start seeing patterns and make predictions. They can predict what the weather be like the next day and for the next few days. They see if their predictions were correct from the previous day.

Fourth graders examine severe weather in Utah. They utilize a variety of sources; websites, newspapers, TV coverage and perform research to study the severe weather patterns ffound in Utah.

Students investigate weather while collecting, organizing and displaying weather patterns. They show their understanding of a weather system or systems by creating a clay animation.

Students discover that different textured materials can absorb more heat than others. Students work with thermometers, clocks, and graphs.

Students correctly use weather related vocabulary, numbers, and days of the week to prepare a weather forecast and present it as if they were on a television news program. The forecast is entirely in French.

Learners study the weather conditions before, during, and after cold front passage. Two cold front examples are provided so that comparisons can be made. They are divided in two large groups. Each group studies a different cold front case.

Learners 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 explain how water changes from vapor to liquid with a change in temperature by engaging in this experiment. They use a worksheet imbedded in this lesson plan to guide their inquiry.

Young scholars use different parachute activities to study weather and land patterns and formations. Tornados and hurricanes can be discussed as students make large waves (move from very high to very low) that mimmick these two weather...

Students, by incorporating art and science, make the connection between weather and how it affects our everyday lives.
