Students examine hurricanes. In this web-based meteorology instructional activity, students study the relationship between ocean temperature and hurricane intensity. They differentiate between intensity and frequency of hurricanes.

Students explore biome data. In this world geography and weather data analysis lesson, students record data about weather conditions in North Carolina, Las Vegas, and Brazil. Students convert Fahrenheit degrees to Celsius degrees and use...

Join the tree house detectives in learning about the processes of the water cycle, water conservation, water treatment, and water as a limited resource.

Support science instruction with a combination of engaging activities and skills-based worksheets that focus on clouds. Learners take part in grand discussions, write an acrostic poem, complete graphic organizers, solve word...

Tornado winds can reach more than 200 miles per hour. Learners explore wind speeds and more characteristics of tornadoes with an online lesson. They learn how tornadoes form and how scientists attempt to predict them. Can be used as an...

Students explain how water changes from vapor to liquid with a change in temperature by engaging in this experiment. They use a worksheet imbedded in this lesson to guide their inquiry.

Students study wind and the direction terms related to wind. In this meteorology lesson, students learn about the wind directions by completing a wind direction activity where kids locate cones marked with the specific wind...

Students read and interpret the information from a barograph from a major winter storm. This task assesses students' abilities to interpret and analyze graphs, construct data tables and graphs, generalize, infer, apply knowledge of...

Students explore what tornados are, how they are created and measured, and what their effects are on communities. They keep a journal of their activities and explorations as part of an ongoing process of learning.

Learners examine the relationship between altitude, atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity at a particular location. They practice science and math in real world applications. They write reports detailing their scientific...

Students observe and describe the sky as they discover the different cloud types. They record the types of clouds they see twice a day. They also use the internet to view a skywatcher chart. They end the lesson by discussing foggy...

Readers complete a mid-unit assessment by reading the text How Do Hurricanes Form? They answer text-dependent questions about hurricanes with short answer and sequencing. Learners then participate in a read aloud and text chunking...

Pupils collect and record temperatures throughout the school. Using this information they compare and contrast the temperatures recorded from various spots throughout the school.

Fourth graders investigate the attraction between two different charges to explain the concept of lightning in a thunderstorm.

Students predict the amount of snowfall for the week and measure snowfall.  In this measuring snowfall lesson plan, student use a precipitation gauge to measure the week's snowfall; and analyze the data to determine whether or...

Students study lightening and the history behind how it was used for electricity.  In this electricity lesson students complete several experiments on the invention of the lightning rod.

Learners reinforce their knowledge of seasons and the types of weather and precipitation that occur during each season. They use previous learning of weather, precipitation, and seasons from a weather unit to create a collage for all...

Students identify regional climates by using weather maps. They, in groups, locate and mark their city on the small map, then go to the larger map to locate and mark their city when they are called upon by teacher.

Seventh graders role play the roles of naval engineer apprentices. In groups, they work together to design a ship which cannot be damaged by freezing ice. They use the internet to research the weather and ocean conditions of the water...

Students make a thermometer and write a paragraph about how they did it.

Learners construct a barometer and collect data on the changes in air pressure. They work is small groups using plastic tubing, corks, and green food coloring. They then use a formula to convert inches of mercury to barometric pressure...

Students discuss the causes of global warming. In this earth science lesson, students examine how global warming is connected to the arctic and world climate. They write a paragraph about their interconnection.

Young scholars participate in an hands-on construction of an instrument to measure wind speed.

Students work in groups to make an instrument the Meteorologists use to measure the speed of the wind after the teacher reads them a poem about the wind. Students then review vocabulary that they studied from their lesson.
