(S-1A) Weather and the Atmosphere
Students discuss the way vertical convection transports heat from the surface upwards, and associated pressure and temperature profiles of the atmosphere.
Curated OER
Comparing Temperature, Pressure, and Humidity
Students investigate data on temperature, pressure, and humidity by downloading information from the ARM Website. Working in groups, they discover how weather impacts life in each of the ARM sites. They record weather data in their...

High and Low: Pressures and Fronts
Pupils investigate basic information about high- and low-pressure fronts and how they affect the weather. They observe weather patterns and cloud formations. Students study the basic pattern of movement of high- and low-pressure weather...
Curated OER
Ideal Gas Law
In this Ideal Gas Law instructional activity, students use the Ideal Gas Law to solve each of the problems listed. They calculate the volume of moles of a gas that occupy at a specific temperature. Students also find the volume of moles...
Curated OER
Sea of Air #2
In this air worksheet, high schoolers name gases found in the air, what gases are removed from the air during different processes, and determine what happens to air if there are changes in pressure, volume, or temperature. This worksheet...
Curated OER
Weather Review
In this weather instructional activity, learners reviews terms associated with measuring different weather phenomena plus draw examples of different types of fronts on a weather map. This instructional activity has 5 true or false, 15...

Colligative Properties and Chemical Equilibria
In this colligative properties and chemical equilibria worksheet, students answer twenty questions including ranking solutions base on their colligative properties and determining what must happen to a reaction to reach equilibrium.
Curated OER
Learning Lesson: Crunch Time
Learners demonstrate the effect of heat on pressure. They use a 2-liter bottle and hot tap water to complete the experiments. They also discuss thunderstorm safety rules.
Curated OER
Air Expansion and Contraction
Students observe that air exerts pressure, that heated air expands and that cooled air contracts. After the demonstration, students engage in a question and answer session about what they saw.
