Students analyze NASA data from the Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer. In this NASA data lesson, students access an assigned website to examine information from the MISR on the Terra Satellite. They determine how desert dust travels...

Fourth graders investigate saturation conditions and measure the dew point. They conduct an experiment, record data on a worksheet, and measure the dew point in the experiment.

Young scholars recognize that global winds move in specific directions in specific latitudes and describe that in a written form. They relate the motion of the wind belts to historical navigation.

Students investigate water vapor. They view and analyze photos, conduct Internet research, and analyze the total water vapor/total liquid water data plot.

Young scholars conduct experiments involving different parts of the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students conduct five simple experiments to demonstrate how the water cycle works. The results of each experiment is discussed...

Students work in groups for up to three weeks to investigate the possibility of acid rain in your area and to investigate the damage that acid rain can do to buildings, monuments, and plants. Each group prepares a report to local...

Middle schoolers explore and conduct an experiment on the effects of drought on the environment. They define what drought is and the impact that a shortage of rainfall can have on agriculture, municipal water supplies, tourism,...

Students explore air quality. In this environmental lesson, students observe a simulation of air pollution by blowing into a jar (with a straw) that has chalk dust. Students discuss how air quality can effect the way we breathe.

Students study the Beaufort Scale and use it to study wind in their community. In this wind study lesson, students watch a DVD about climate change and learn about the Beaufort Scale. Students complete a worksheet for the topic.

Students build and race solar powered cars after a teacher lecture. They answer questions based on their experiences with the car they build.

Students explore day and night and the relationships between the Earth, the sun and the moon. They discuss the ways in which the sun and moon help us. They watch a short video that helps illustrate these concepts.

Students tour Jupiter. In this scenario based lesson, students examine the size of Jupiter and make models of the other planets in the solar system to show how large Jupiter is compared to the other planets.

Students participate in a demonstration showing how rain drops grow by coalescence. They use ping pong balls and put them in an air stream. They end the lesson discussing flash flood safety.

Students investigate the formation of rain. They experiment by boiling water in a tea kettle and placing ice cubes and water in a pan. They hold the pan of water over the steaming spout so that the steam strikes the bottom and sides of...

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.

In this climate changes worksheet, students review the different events such as volcanic eruptions and El Nino that change the climate. This worksheet has 5 multiple choice and 5 short answer questions.

Learners watch a demonstration on air pressure, discuss it, and do a worksheet to reinforce it.

Students read and conduct and experiment to learn about rain formation. For this water forms lesson, students read about the formation of rain and its purposes. Students then complete a rain experiment activity.

Young scholars review various scenarios in regards to the water cycle to determine what the best solution is to the problem. Students write their opinions on the controversies.

Students complete activities to study wind intensity. In this wind study lesson, students discuss wind speed and direction. Students then build a kite and windsock to help them study wind intensity. Students learn to use a wind meter for...

High schoolers explore temperature variation in lakes and deal with the data.

Pupils identify the various states of water and its natural flow downward. As a class, students take digital pictures of different forms of water and create a multimedia presentation describing their photographs. Groups of pupils perform...

Middle schoolers identify and describe the steps in the water cycle. They discover the sun as the source of the cycle. They work together to create their own water cycle model.

In this Jupiter learning exercise, students read a passage about the environment and atmosphere of Jupiter. Students then answer several multiple choice questions about the passage.
