Students, by incorporating art and science, make the connection between weather and how it affects our everyday lives.

Young scholars investigate the reports of local weather. They identify types of weather data and correlate it to the conditions. Using the data students draw a picture of the current weather. They conduct the same investigation for all...

Middle schoolers investigate various concepts related to weather. They conduct historical research to see how the study of weather originated and the application of the latest technologies in the field. Students summarize the information...

First graders participate in a simulation in which they discover the weather condtions for each day. In groups, they observe and share the weather conditions and the forecast for the day with the principal. They collect and compare the...

Students practice trends forecasting to predict the weather. For this forecasting lesson plan, students learn how meteorologists predict the weather by looking at weather trends. They then predict their own forecast, analyze the results,...

Students explore mechanical and chemical weathering at stations. They articulate some mechanisms of chemical and mechanical weathering through exploration in a lab. Students stations describe how chemical weathering differs from...

Seventh graders research about the climate and weather in different biome types. For this biology lesson, 7th graders create a brochure of their chosen biome using Microsoft Publisher. They present their work in class.

Learners explore clouds.  In this weather lesson, students identify the steps in the water cycle, define condensation and evaporation, and relate this information to cloud formation.  Learners perform a cloud experiment,...

Students investigate the concepts of hurricanes and violent weather conditions. In this violent weather instructional activity, students access an Internet site and watch a video about how air masses behave, how a tornado forms, how...

Students research report on their severe weather pattern for presentation to the class.

Learners gather data about the weather in Nome, Alaska. In this Nome Temperature lesson, students create an excel graph to explore the weather trends in Nome.  Learners will find the average weather and add a trend line to their graph.

Learners investigate the climate of their region. Students research statistics and conduct interviews. Learners take a virtual tour of Ghana and discuss its climate. Students consider water conservation and the role it plays in both...

Learners are introduces to soil profile classification. They remember that classification of soils is an important aspect of studying soils as it aids in predicting how soils react to weathering, transport nutrients or pollution. ...

Students write a short description similar to "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs," describing their own favorite food, and what kind of weather it would be in the story. they continue to observe the weather outside of our classroom.

Fifth graders examine how sand and rock fragments in soil are products of erosion or the weathering of rocks. They listen to the book "Sand" by Ellen J. Prager and answer discussion questions. Next, they analyze sand samples and sort...

Young scholars investigate the characteristics of the beach environment and explore beach zonation. After gathering samples from different areas of the beach, students discuss how the beaches work and the characteristic of each zone....

Fifth graders identify the chemical and physical changes in the water cycle, carbon cycle, and the effects of weathering. They analyze the periodic table, and observe how vinegar reacts with limestone in a chemical reaction that causes...

Students dramatize the wonderful world of nature, without making a sound. In this early childhood creative thinking lesson, students dramatize different aspects of nature to develop creative thinking, reading, memory, and motor skills.

Students research natural disasters and their lasting effect on both people and the environment. For this environmental science lesson, students complete a group project on a natural disaster of their choosing. Students examine multiple...

Students design and use a barometer to study air pressure. In this weather lesson, students identify the causes of air pressure. They design and use a barometer to determine how air pressure relates to air temperature and weather...

Students explore different natural and manmade disasters through a webquest. In this earth science lesson, students explain their causes. They also discuss how disasters affect society. 

Students demonstrate how hail and rain are suspended in the air during a storm. In this instructional activity on storms and weather, students use a hair dryer and ping pong ball to demonstrate how hail and rain can be suspended in the...

Students plan, practice, and act in a 2-3 minute videotaped production about a specific topic. Students from a local high school give presentations pertaining to seasons, earth rotation, and moon phases. Students analyze the...

Students explore tsunami through various hands-on activities. In this earth science lesson, students explain how they are formed. They create tsunami and earthquake models in the lab to observe how they are generated.
