When you have a cold drink and you notice the water forming on the outside, it is literally pulling the water from the surrounding air to form the condensation. After watching a demonstration of condensation forming on a glass,...

Climate change is a hot topic in the news. Class members examine carbon dioxide data to analyze trends of our atmospheric makeup over time. They also discuss climate and climate change, and determine how these changes are affecting life...

It's time to break the ice! If you are doing all of the lessons in the unit, children have already seen that increasing heat increases the rate of evaporation, but is the opposite true? Does decreasing temperature cause more condensation...

In this weather activity, students keep a log of the temperature, precipitation, air pressure, humidity and wind for a fourteen day period. They record each of these measurements twice a day.

In this weather worksheet, students are given 13 statements about temperature, condensation, saturation, water vapor, humidity and snow. Students find the terms in a word search and fill in the blanks of the sentences.

In this reading comprehension worksheet, students read a passage regarding different deserts and answer 10 questions. The questions are a mix of true/false, short answer, and matching.

In this water desalinization worksheet, students will design and construct their own desalinization plant. Then they will describe how they set up their experiment and if it worked or not.
