Students research volcanoes, storms, atmospheric conditions and extreme environments. They collect information and create a simulation of a science newscast. They watch a video and write a letter as an eyewitness to an avalanche.

In this science worksheet, high schoolers look for the answers to finding the correct temperatures that match the location in the atmosphere.

Pupils learn a few key weather terminology and a variety of climates through examining and recording weather characteristics in a variety of communities around the world.

Learners discover the functions of instruments used to help predict the weather. In groups, they use the Beaufort Scale to calculate the wind speed and a chart to determine cloud cover. They complete a worksheet to end the instructional...

Fifth graders brainstorm processes or forces that cause Earth's surface to be changed.

Students illustrate characteristics of the different seasons using digital and pen and paper drawings. They creat captions for their drawings and present them to the class. Students compare and contrast their pen and paper drawing...

Fifth graders demonstrate their knowledge for how animals survive in natural environments when a storm occurs. In this science/writing lesson, 5th graders engage in a listening activity with the teacher. Additionally, students write a...

Students study the weather over time in this lesson. In this weather lesson, students record weather information from the newspaper over a month's time. They record the wind speed and direction, the barometric pressure, the air...

Learners look through pictures to examine the seasons and seasonal activities which include the Salish months and traditional activities for each month. They also discover why certain activities are done at the same time each year and...

Fifth graders research weather and climate for selected cities and create identification cards within a database. They prepare an oral presentation on a simulated on-location weather broadcast.

Students write a short story based on the weather condition they chose. in this short story lesson plan, students must include a theme, setting, characters, and plot.

Learners participate in a series of demonstrations about Bernoulli's principle. They explain how air pressure varies with air speed. They write a detailed lab report about the activity. This is a great way to explore this concept.

Middle schoolers discuss the characteristics of the biosphere, with a focus on the Tibetan Plateau. They participate in a question and answer period discussing biomes and climate patterns. They compare and contrast different ecosystems.

Introduce your class to air masses and how they affect the weather with a lesson that focuses on the differences between high and low air pressure systems. The class explores actual weather data using archived weather data.

Young scholars examine how to locate and access data sets.  In this climate change lesson students import data into Excel and graph it.   

Students use NASA satellite data to compare water vapor over the United States.  In this data analysis lesson students use an Excel spreadsheet to map their data. 

I love this idea! After discussing rain, spring, and the weather, take your class outside and let nature do the painting. They shake power paints and glitter onto a piece of heavy construction paper, then take their paper outside and...

A slide show serves as the backdrop for a instructional activity on the moisture in Earth's atmosphere. Through it, mini meteorologists learn about the attributes of the atmosphere and actually use data-collecting weather tools to make...

Global warming has long been in the making. A thorough review of decades of research helps pupils discover the weather patterns of global warming. Learners then connect the weather changes to data in the Keeling Curve that reveals trends...

Middle schoolers investigate the relationship of the steps in the water cycle, and create a simulation of the water cycle in a jar.

Students observe the impact of natural disasters on humans, and become aware of the dangers of environmental hazards such as flash floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes.

Students read a CNNfyi.com article in order to identify causes of ozone depletion. They compare and contrast the effects of chlorofluorocarbons and bromine on the ozone. They develop a plan to prevent future destruction of the ozone.

It's time to soak up the sun! Youngsters read about active and passive solar heating systems, then they collaborate to create a miniature solar-heated building. Provide a variety of materials for them to incorporate and watch their...

Earth science enthusiasts experiment to compare the heating rates of soil and water. They relate their findings to the weather conditions near bodies of water. Consider also having middle schoolers measure the cooling rates to...
