Challenge young meteorologists to apply their knowledge of weather to build their own weather stations. The resource provides the directions to build a weather station that contains a wind vane, barometer, thermometer, and rain...

It's an ocean rescue mission! Groups must find a pilot downed off the coast of the Chesapeake Bay. Rescuers must determine the distance needed to travel as well as the heading to get to the pilot's last known position. Taking...

Future weather forecasters collect daily temperatures over a period of time. Afterward, they compare their data with monthly averages, as researched on national weather websites, in order to grasp the difference between weather and...

Learners identify, measure, and average microclimatic temperatures in a particular region. Groups of students are assigned to sample certain areas on the playground and around the school campus. They record their temperature data and...

Observing the atmosphere is always a fascinating pastime. In this science instructional activity, learners are encouraged to observe the wind speed and cloudiness present each day. The observations take place over three days, and each...

Young meteorologists explore different aspects of the weather while learning about measurement devices. They build instruments and then set up a weather station outside and measure temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, and...

How do clouds form? Learners demonstrate the formation of clouds and the water cycle by testing four different setups in a plastic bottle. They identify the key components of a cloud to help them understand the process of cloud...

The investigation of weather and climate is a fascinating study. In this lesson, learners see that weather and climate are two very different areas of study. They study printouts of an area's temperature highs, lows, and average rainfall...

Teaching young mathematicians about collecting and analyzing data allows for a variety of fun and engaging activities. Here, children observe the weather every day for a month, recording their observations in the form of a bar graph....

It's not easy to measure the weather. Pupils learn about what all weather has in common—the atmosphere. Scholars discover how a meteorologists must be able to measure aspects of the atmosphere and decipher the data. They then create a...

Scholars build a weather station equipped with a wind vane, rain gauge, and barometer. Following an informative page about the weather, learners follow steps to build their pieces then turn into meteorologists to chart the weather they...

This contains a writing prompt about global warming that could be adapted in several ways. The resource provides information on global warming and its possible effects. Learners explore the enhanced greenhouse effect and the effects of...

Students investigate methods of weather prediction before modern communication sources. A local elder lectures the class on weather prediction and safety. They document the experience by creating posters. Applying the methods presented...

Middle schoolers investigate the laws of thermodynamics. They observe demonstrations of each law, read a summary, and analyze how pizza demonstrates the laws of thermodynamics.

A lab experiment in a series of experiments that explores hurricanes. This lab has students developing questions based on observations they make by doing an in-depth exploration of a "visualization showing the active 2005 Atlantic...

This activity is intended for an Introductory Meteorology class; an earth science elective intended for Juniors and Seniors. (It was orginally modifed from an Introductory Meteorology Laboratory Assigment taught to undergraduates at...

This activity is designed to assess a student's comprehension of a basic meteorological phenomenon.

Forecasting the weather and delivering the forecast to the many people who turn on the nightly news is not an easy task. Now that you know some of the jobs in meteorology and know how to read a weather map, you and your team are ready to...

This site from the Center for Distance Learning and Innovation provides a really extensive listing of possible science fair projects. Maybe a hundred. Physics, Engineering, Meteorology, Chemistry, Botany. Interesting goodies.

At this site from the Center for Distance Learning and Innovation there's a monstrous listing of possible science fair projects. You can choose from primary (grades 1-4), elementary (grades 4-6), intermediate (grades 7-9), or senior...

Build six different instruments to collect meteorological data for the weather in your area.

Lots of information about the causes of Hurricane Katrina from a meteorology point of view is shared, as well as the data from the Hurricane and the impact the Hurricane had on the cities and towns that were affected.

Here's a good way to get yourself on TV. This science fair project will help you learn how to predict the weather. So who knows, maybe you'll be more accurate than your local meteorologist.
