Students discover the causes of different types of weather and it's effect on society.  In this environmental lesson, students utilize the Internet to examine cloud types, normal weather conditions and the type of weather considered...

Students explore the role that remote sensing plays in predicting our weather. Students investigate weather websites, and read about the three kinds of clouds. Students record and draw their observations in science journals.

Third graders read a book on clouds and use the Internet to research how they are formed and the different formations. They also do an experiment.

Aspiring meteorologists make themselves a tool for reviewing the characteristics of each layer of the atmosphere. The procedure for this little project divides the paper into five sections, but many earth science teachers opt for the...

Student use MY NASA DATA to obtain precipitation and cloud type data. They create graphs of data within MY NASA DATA. Students compare different cloud types, compare precipitation, and cloud type data They qualitatively describe graphs...

Have your young scientists explore a single element of the water cycle and write a report to explain findings. Your class can take their writing through all the steps of the writing process and publish it using a Web-based multimedia...

Students identify basic weather instruments and how they are used to record weather data. Students define several vocabulary terms as stated in lesson. Students use basic instruments to record weather data in their area. Students use the...

Students describe the relationship between animals and humans. In this biology lesson, students research about the history of horses in America. They present a mock news broadcast about their research.

Students explore the relationship between the amount of water in the atmosphere available for precipitation and the actual precipitation observed by satellite. They examine seasonal changes in precipitation. They practice using Internet...

Learners search their room to learn cloud names and types. In this weather lesson,  students scavenge the changing cloud scenery to memorize clouds types and facts. To add fun to the memorization the class plays I spy.

Young scholars predict weather by watching the clouds, and identify different types of clouds.

Students study types of clouds. In this earth science instructional activity, students read the book The Cloud Book. Students use photos to examine each type of cloud and visit suggested websites.

Learners observe and record different types of clouds. They use a cloud chart to discuss the three cloud types to see if students can identify the clouds they drew.

Learners observe landscape paintings consisting of cloud formations. In this identifying cloud types lesson, students discover different cloud types and characteristics by looking at paintings. Learners paint their own pictures at the...

Students discover how clouds form. They use the internet to read about the formation of clouds. They work together in groups to create their own clouds. They identify and label the four cloud types.
