Young scholars explore the concepts of weather. They investigate lightening formation, construct weather maps and evaluate weather monitoring equipment. Students examine careers related to meteorology.

Students study weather forecasting. In this weather lesson, students explore forecasting weather methods and do a forecast. Students study weather reports and discuss the elements of a forecast. Students study the method of persistence...

Second graders track weather patterns through the school year. They take daily readings and record them in a weather book.

Young scholars observe a daily paper to see the temperature forecast looking at a paper thermometer with today's predicted temperature colored in. They predict today's temperature, and paste the second color on the same thermometer to...

Learners explore earth science by researching the Internet. In this weather pattern instructional activity, students utilize the website weather.com to analyze the weather in different geographic locations. Learners view charts and...

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.

Students use email to chart weather patterns and then graph their findings. In this weather patterns lesson, students chart their weather for a week at the school. Students then use email to find temperatures at a variety of locations....

Fourth graders measure wind speed, air pressure, humidity, temperature, and wind direction. They compare their observations with those of actual weather forecasts.

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

Fifth graders explore weather forecasting. For a week, 5th graders observe weekly weather forcasts on different television channels. They predict which station is more accurate with their predictions. Students record and chart...

Using a simulated air sample, environmental or earth science pupils examine the components. You will need to prepare the faux air by using a hole punch and various colors of construction paper. Each color will represent a different...

Students differentiate weather and climate. In this earth science lesson plan, students compare weather and climate in different regions of the world. They interpret weather graphs and compare isotherm lines of northern and southern...

How is the Earth's weather created? Middle schoolers will explain how the Sun's energy is transformed into different forms. They will perform mathematical calculations of volume, mass, and temperature. They they will explain the...

What goes up when rain comes down? An umbrella! Activity eight in the series of 12 explores weather and climate. In pairs, participants analyze maps, watch a short video, create a weather forecast, and complete a reading to determine the...

Students observe which of ten types of clouds are visible and how much of the sky is cloud covered. They see that by observing clouds, we can get information about temperature, moisture, and wind conditions in different places in the...

Ninth graders perform research in the subject of weather to answer several key questions to increase comprehension of concepts. Students use weather prediction as an application for the research.

Students recognize the elements of an analog weather forecast.  In this weather forecasting lesson, students use a website and look for trends, persistence and climatology in weather forecasting.  Students complete a...

In this data collection and analysis lesson, young scholars observe and graph the weather conditions during one school week, then calculate the average weather temperature. Extensions are included.

Students interpret the synoptic code. They construct a thermoscreen with an anemometer. Students identify different types of clouds and understand and read barometric pressure. Students predict weather pattern as they apply to fronts.

Students construct a thermoscreen for the experiment. In this earth science lesson, students make observations and interpret them using synoptic codes. They predict the weather based on gathered information.

Students study weather by taking walks in various types weather conditions.

Fourth graders explore the concepts of weather forecasting. Students locate the current weather in a specified city. In groups, they record the specified weather information and make predictions of weather. Students justify their...

Students communicate how weather affects people, classify objects according to how they are used, and observe and record weather data using symbols.
