Students monitor local surface weather conditions for at least 30 days. They interpret the data by graphing it and detemining percentages.

In this telemetry worksheet, students will read about how telemetry works and the different ways that scientist use telemetry to gather data. Students complete 2 short answer questions based on the reading.

Students calculate averages of climate sets of data. In this ecology lesson, students analyze data to determine identity of a biome and collect meteorological data to understand process.  Students also compare data sets. 

Students study wind and the direction terms related to wind. In this meteorology lesson, students learn about the wind directions by completing a wind direction activity where kids locate cones marked with the specific wind...

Students view a documentary on Thomas Jefferson. Statesman, scientist, architect, president-he was America's dashing Renaissance man. After viewing, students discuss what they saw then write their own version of a biography of Thomas...

Young scholars record weather for a period of one month. In this weather lesson, students observe weather for one month on a large pictograph. Young scholars record clouds, wind, temperature and any other weather conditions they observe....

Students play the role of weather personalities by making five day forecasts based on data gathered from observations, weather instruments, and weather maps. Each day a small group makes a class forecast for the next day and reviews the...

In this earth science worksheet, students check the accuracy of the weather forecasts in their area for a week. Then they complete the chart by recording the forecast for the week's weather and then recording the actual weather for that...

Second graders explore how seasonal weather patterns affect temperature and their lives.

Students identify the three ingredients of weather.. They create weather vanes, thermometers, and rain gauges.

Young scholars learn about one scientist's quest to make her field of canopy ecology accessible to a wider audience and to synthesize their knowledge by developing toy figures that could potentially educate children about different...

Fourth graders explore meteorologists. They explore symbols on a weather map and make five day forecasts.

Students track the weather and temperature for the same time period that Lewis and Clark were at Fort Mandan. The students compile data and use it for comparisons.

In this weather worksheet, students reviews terms associated with measuring different weather phenomena plus draw examples of different types of fronts on a weather map. This worksheet has 5 true or false, 15 matching, 21 multiple...

Young geographers examine how Crowley's Ridge was formed. This is one Arkansa's six natural geologic divisions. The history of Crowley's Ridge is important in that the first settlers of the state were attracted to this region, and it...

A succinct set of slides covers the main points for your weather unit. From the factors that contribute to conditions, to fronts and extreme occurrences, to the different types of clouds, numerous facts are listed in bullets. The only...

Students build tools to help track the weather. In this weather lesson, students follow directions to build a rain gauge, barometer and hair hygrometer.

Learners interpret the synoptic code. They construct a thermoscreen with an anemometer. Students identify different types of clouds and understand and read barometric pressure. Learners predict weather pattern as they apply to fronts.

Students construct a thermoscreen for the experiment. In this earth science activity, students make observations and interpret them using synoptic codes. They predict the weather based on gathered information.

Students view and discuss a video about the challenges facing wildlife on the planet Earth. They define key terms, watch the video, and answer discussion questions about the film.

Ninth graders discuss the differences between climate and weather as a class. Using data they collected, they create a graph of the data to share with the class over a specific time period. They compare and contrast this data with...

Learners explore why Antarctica is so important to the planet. They investigate the physical characteristics. Students create their own unique treaty of governance for Antarctica and discuss how laws are enforced in Antarctica.

Fifth graders accurately measure the distance to eight points on an uneven surface by conducting a simulation of sattelite altimetry. They create a two-dimensional model of the simulated ocean surface by graphing data from the Radar Run...
