Students recognize different types of cloud patterns and associate these patterns with certain types of weather. They predict the weather for the next 6 to 24 hours. They then improve their observation skills as they check on the weather...

Fourth graders investigate how weather conditions and phenomena occur and how they can be predicted. They complete an internet search. Students create a weather fact sheet over a selected weather phenomenon.

Students explore the concepts of weather. They investigate lightening formation, construct weather maps and evaluate weather monitoring equipment. Students examine careers related to meteorology.

Students collect, interpret and analyze weather variable data. They describe atmospheric variables that affect evaporation. Students create graphs and analyze the information collected.

Students build an anemometer and use it to explore and calculate wind speed.

Students explore the design of anemometers and how they are used in measuring the speed of wind. Working in teams of "engineers", they will design, build, and evaluate the effectiveness of their own anemometers, presenting their findings...

Learn about wind and create an anemometer.

After studying wind energy, student teams design and test a windmill that has to meet specific criteria. Afterwards, they evaluate the success of their design and how they could improve it.

Use real-time data to study factors that affect weather and climate, create weather instruments, and share data with students around the world.

Young scholars use the engineering design process to build a working windmill out of everyday materials. Lesson explores the technology behind wind energy being used to generate energy in businesses and homes worldwide.

In this lesson young scholars will build and learn how to use three weather. They will use these instruments to collect weather data over a period of two weeks.

Understand weather concepts.

Learn all about the basic meteorological instruments.

Fourth graders measure wind speed over the course of a week and graph the results.

Students are introduced to the basics of the Earth's weather. Concepts include fundamental causes of common weather phenomena such as temperature changes, wind, clouds, rain and snow. The different factors that affect the weather and the...

In this activity, students are introduced to the types of renewable energy resources. They are involved in activities to help them understand the transformation of energy (solar, water and wind) into electricity. Students explore the...

Students learn about wind as a source of renewable energy and explore the advantages and disadvantages wind turbines and wind farms. They also learn about the effectiveness of wind turbines in varying weather conditions and how engineers...
