Fifth graders study weather in their community, in the United States, and around the world. They use thermometers, the beaufort wind scale, and simple weather symbols to measure and record the weather outside their school. They also look...

Young scholars consider how topography affects weather and human activity. Students simulate a mountain range and observe surrounding wind patterns.

Third graders use the internet to record the daily weather conditions. Using symbols, they take the information they gathered and create an easy to read chart. They share their charts with the class to end the lesson.

Young writers engage in a fun writing activity. They write three different sentences on three strips of paper. Then they get into groups of three, and take a look at all nine sentences that have been written. Their task is to write a...

Students study weather stations and how forecasting weather can change our lives.  In this creative lesson students create a diorama and describe how their future weather station works.

Students study weather patterns and conditions by making their own tornado. In this tornado lesson, students create a tornado in a bottle to study weather conditions.

Students explore the weather. In this weather data lesson plan, students collect weather data from Internet and media sources. Students graph the collected data discuss it as well as the seasons of the year.

Fifth graders brainstorm a list of ways the Earth's surface can change. As a class, they are introduced to the concepts of erosion and weathering and discover how wind and water cause changes to the surface of the Earth. To end the...

In this ESL weather worksheet, students will use terminology specifically related to weather. Students will research 3 cities, telling about the varying weather conditions in each.

For this science worksheet, 3rd graders focus on the weather. Students respond to ten fill in the blank questions regarding specific terminology used in weather.

Sixth graders complete an El Nino scavenger hunt. In this earth science lesson, 6th graders describe the conditions that create El Nino and compare it to normal condition. They discuss how this phenomenon affects marine ecosystem.

Learners use a NASA satellite data to contrast amounts of cloud coverage over different climate regions in Africa. They explore how Earth's major air circulations affect global weather patterns, and relate to local weather patterns.

Equip young campers with important survival knowledge with a set of engaging lessons. Teammates work together to complete three outdoor activities, which include building a shelter, starting a campfire, and finding directions in the...
