Outer space may be a lot closer than you think! Science scholars model the layers of the atmosphere using transparencies to gain insight into the scale of space. The resource includes ideas to tailor the activity to the skill level of...

Young scholars investigate the relationship of the steps in the water cycle, and create a simulation of the water cycle in a jar.

Students examine the vocabulary and objects associated with objects in the sky and weather. They observe the sky outside of their classroom and create a list of things in the sky. Students then analyze a poster, read and discuss key...

Students demonstrate how hail and rain are suspended in the air during a storm. In this lesson on storms and weather, students use a hair dryer and ping pong ball to demonstrate how hail and rain can be suspended in the air during a storm.

Learners record weather observations and research online weather data. In this weather observations lesson, students study the cloud cover for several days and record their observations in a chart. Learners identify the cloud types and...

Learners create a slideshow that pictorially depicts a variety of cloud types. They research clouds, develop and present the slideshow and then evaluate their efforts based on a rubric for self-evaluation.

Students read the "Cloud Book" by Tomie de Paola and create a map of clouds identifying atmospheric conditions, color and type, and what type of weather each cloud indicates. Emphasis is placed on the use of Kidspiration.

Students identify the three major cloud groups. They are introduced to the three main cloud types and spend a week making and recording observations of clouds. Students produce a graph that presents their findings and conduct research...

Students color the lightning part of the thunder cloud and then cut out the pattern. They then cut out the cloud pattern and put cotton onto it with glue. They then fold a piece of paper several times to create a snowflake to which they...

In this science worksheet, students learn about water cycle, weather, clouds, storms and water resources by completing 8 pages of this full color newsletter. Students read a story, study weather maps, learn to make a rain gauge, learn...

Seventh graders study the cause of climate change, and how clouds form and affect weather. They define condensation and precipitation, the greenhouse effect and the water cycle.

In this science worksheet, 3rd graders will focus on the weather. Students will respond to eight multiple choice and fill in the blank questions about various aspects pertaining to our weather.

Students explore how temperature and wind contribute to types of weather. In this weather lesson, students observe an experiment in which ice, steam, and an electric fan are manipulated to produce results that simulate how fog and snow...

Students, after listening to The Cloud Book, by Tomie dePaola, explore cumulus, stratus, and cirrus clouds. They identify and draw an example of each type of cloud.

For this weather worksheet, students read a selection about the water cycle and cloud identification. Then the students fill in the missing words in 5 sentences and write the name of 5 cloud types while describing the clouds.

Fourth graders analyze how summer and winter storms are different. For this weather lesson, 4th graders construct a winter storm simulation box and a summer storm bottle and record the temperature and barometer readings. The directions...

Students discuss weather and how it is forcast on the news. They set up a "news room" and create their own sentences with a forecast and advice for those watching based on the forecast. These sentences are used as students role play weather

Seventh graders explain the layers of the atmosphere. They identify the causes of air pollution. They analyze real world weather data. They explore and describe clouds. They develop models to explain atmosphere and weather.

Second graders participate in a three part lesson in which they identify and describe forms of moisture in the environment. Part one of the lesson involves the three stages of the water cycle, part two focuses on creating humidity by...

Students create and analyze a weather-related data table and a thematic map based upon information provided.

Students compare current weather data to historic data to see if there is a temperature change.  In this weather lesson students complete a lab activity and determine average changes in temperature, precipitation and cloud cover.
