Students observe weather patterns, collect data, and make a weather predictions for various locations on a map.

Students explore and analyze weather conditions, climates, compositions and characteristics of the atmosphere and weather patterns. They explain in detail the water cycle and its relationship to weather patterns. A lab experiment is...

Learners create a HyperStudio stack that describes and illustrates twelve different kinds of clouds. They then make inferences about which types of weather the different types of clouds could help predict.

For this weather worksheet, students use the pictures illustrated to help them unscramble each word to learn a few weather sayings. Then they identify the ways in which meteorologist tracked weather before technology.

Students examine how natural processes change the earth by identifying their local water cycle. Individual students complete a cloud journal over a specific period of time. They observe clouds daily and take photographs of the clouds...

Students explore air and clouds by watching demonstration. They perform an experiment to measure air pressure changes.

Students examine how clouds are made.

First graders compare forecasts to today's weather. They gather information about today's weather and record it on a chart. Students record information on the weather and discuss the importance of forecasts.

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 classify the visual opacity of various materials, what is needed to create shadows, and classify clouds by the types of shadows that they produce.

Third graders study clouds and how they are formed. They write acrostic poems about clouds and analyze and graph temperature data collected during varying degrees of cloud cover.

Students conduct an experiment to determine dew point and use a formula to detemine altitude. They construct a chart and predict what altitude clouds would form, given the dew point on the ground.

Students investigate the concept of weather and how it is created. They review relevant vocabulary related to weather. Students predict weather given slight background knowledge. The lesson includes background information for the...

Students use a dichotomous key to distinguish between different types of clouds

Students demonstrate their ability to distinguish between fact and fiction. Students identify the features of weather-related adages and proverbs. After reviewing several weather adages, students explain whether they are based in fact.

Students predict the amount of snowfall for the week and measure snowfall.  In this measuring snowfall lesson, student use a precipitation gauge to measure the week's snowfall; and analyze the data to determine whether or not...

Students simulate the movement of cold and warm fronts as they listen to a story about the weather and Mr. Sun. They brainstorm the characteristics of each type of front then write about which front they would prefer if they were a...

Students research and create a slide show in order to classify clouds as transparent, translucent, or opaque.

Pupils discover the difference between transparent, translucent and opaque. They use those descriptions to classify clouds. They create a presentation in which they show the different types of clouds with their descriptions.

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...

Students watch a video of a recent weather disaster. Using the internet, they work together to examine the weather forecast for tomorrow and next week and discuss why it is important to know the weather. In groups, they use weather...

Students discover the functions of instruments used to help predict the weather. In groups, they use the Beaufort Scale to calculate the wind speed and a chart to determine cloud cover. They complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

Students keep detailed weather records during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. To keep track of the weather, students utilyze weather reports and instuments such as anemometers, compasses, thermometers and rain gauges.

Students keep detailed weather records during the fall migration of the monarch butterfly. They compare weather conditions to the days they do and do not see monarchs. As a class, they graph and analyze data and send it to a university...
