First graders listen to the story "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs" by Judi Barrett. They discuss weather forecasting and create an art project to go with the saying about March weather: "In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb".

Students conduct research projects to determine the effects of climatic changes on the spread of infectious diseases throughout regions. After conducting their Internet research, students develop mini-presentations on their given disease...

Students describe weather conditions and climates. They describe patterns of changing weather and how they are measured. Students explain and predict general weather patterns and storms. Students form fog in a jug.

Students explore and analyze weather conditions, climates, compositions and characteristics of the atmosphere and weather patterns. They explain in detail the water cycle and its relationship to weather patterns. A lab experiment is...

Young scholars read about weather and create a computer log about weather.  In this Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs lesson plan, students listen to the story and discuss different weather patterns.  Young scholars develop a...

Young scholars set up and collect data for a virtual lemonade stand. In this entrepreneurship, economics, and technology lesson, students purchase ingredients, determine costs, and set up a virtual lemonade stand. Young scholars consider...

Learners carry out the class weather study: recording, organizing and discussing data daily and keeping track of this work in their journals. They look for patterns and relationships in data, link these with what they know and with...

Look at climate change around the world using graphical representations and a hands-on learning simulation specified to particular cities around the world. Using an interactive website, young scientists follow the provided...

Students recognize different types of cloud patterns and associate these patterns with certain types of weather. They predict the weather for the next 6 to 24 hours. They then improve their observation skills as they check on the weather...

Fourth graders interpret the weather data they gathered in Investigation 6. They take an average of each component in each season. They compare the same components of each season and write the differences they see between the seasons.

Second graders review the weather through a role-playing game.

Seventh graders learn how solar radiation, latitude, and other factors affect weather. They break into six groups and are assigned a topic to research and to present their findings orally.

Young scholars use different parachute activities to study weather and land patterns and formations. Tornados and hurricanes can be discussed as students make large waves (move from very high to very low) that mimmick these two weather...

High schoolers keep a detailed record of weather patterns during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. The use of weather reports is used to form a class data sheet. This lesson connects to the skills of graphing and critical...

Fourth graders analyze the relationship of clouds and local weather. Students also observe and record cloud data and weather conditions daily as they research different cloud types. The data is analyzed looking for trends in daily...

Students explore the causes and effects of the melting ice formations in Antarctica; they then research different aspects of the topic in order to create a news special.

Students listen to a transcript of an interview about an upswing in hurricanes with Stanley Goldenberg, a researcher with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. students participate in a series of discussion questions.

Students describe the atmosphere, weather conditions, and climates. They describe seasonal changes in weather, the composition and characteristics of the atmosphere. Students describe patterns of changing weather and how they are...

Students view NASA images and movies of Venus, Earth, and Mars to deduce weather patterns and manipulate computer models to test competing hypotheses. They manipulate computer models to investigate the influence of solar distance and...

Students investigate basic information about high- and low-pressure fronts and how they affect the weather. They observe weather patterns and cloud formations. Students study the basic pattern of movement of high- and low-pressure...

Students study cloud data and weather maps to explore cloud activity.  For this cloud data lesson students locate latitude and longitude coordinates and determine cloud cover percentages. 

Learners investigate the given statistics about temperatures in cities around the nation in order to look for a pattern. They measure the mean, median, and mode for the data set of temperatures.

Fourth graders investigate weather patterns in their home state of Utah. After creating KWL charts, they research weather and geographical data to locate the state's extremes. As an extension, 4th graders write and illustrate books about...

Students describe weather conditions and climates. They describe patterns of changing weather and how they are measured. Students explain and predict general weather patterns and storms. They use this experiment as a safe and easy way to...
