Students analyze graphs and make conclusions about climate change.  For this climates lesson students produce graphs and identify relationships between parameters.

Students use NASA satellite data to see cloud cover over Africa.  In this seasons lesson students access data and import it into Excel. 

Students become familiar with weather terminology and different representations of data as they explore various on-line weather sites. They practice using and interpreting data determining the effects of the time of day, time of year and...

Students conduct research projects to determine the effects of climatic changes on the spread of infectious diseases throughout regions. After conducting their Internet research, students develop mini-presentations on their given disease...

Introduce your earth science enthusiasts to the earth's energy budget. Teach them using an informative set of slides that include illuminating lecturer's notes, relevant vocabulary, embedded animations, colorful satellite maps, and a...

Is there another way to view whether the data is linear or not? Class members work alone and in pairs to create scatter plots in order to determine whether there is a linear pattern or not. The exit ticket provides a quick way to...

Sediment samples from the ocean bottoms tell scientists about climate change, pollution, and changes in erosion for the area. Groups of learners focus on sediments and their movement through water. During a hands-on activity, they...

Students read information about global warming and make their own greenhouse. In this global warming lesson, students read several pages of global warming and climate information. Students then make their own greenhouse and answer...

Stimulate interest in ocean currents with a simulation. The first installment of a five-part middle school series teaches future oceanographers about the forces that interact to cause ocean currents. A simulation shows how wind and...

Young scholars study cloud data and weather maps to explore cloud activity.  In this cloud data lesson students locate latitude and longitude coordinates and determine cloud cover percentages. 

Students examine the changes as water goes from solid to liquid. In this states of matter lesson plan, students observe and record the changes to water as it changes from solid to liquid and back to solid.

Ninth graders investigate the cause and effect of severe weather. In this Earth Science lesson, 9th graders use a learning contract and a rubric to develop a presentation about severe weather.

Students research and analyze the causes and sources of Canada's extreme weather conditions. They conduct an experiment, complete a worksheet and predict the most likely locations for extreme weather conditions.

Students discover how weather affects their lives. They review the climates of Florida, Alaska and New York. They need choose the place they would most like to live in based on the climate of that state.

In this science worksheet, learners review the concepts that were previously covered related to weather fronts and other types of systems.

Learners conduct an experiment. For this lightning and thunder lesson, students learn how to figure out how far away a thunderstorm is.

In this lesson, 5th graders begin to describe the atmosphere;describe weather conditions along with seasonal changes. Students further explain safety precautions during severe weather and go onto Describe patterns of changing weather...

Students examine common trends in climate across the U.S. They identify the anomalies in hot-cold temperature differences in the U.S and locate them on the map using latitude and longitude coordinates.

Fourth graders investigate weather patterns in their home state of Utah. After creating KWL charts, they research weather and geographical data to locate the state's extremes. As an extension, 4th graders write and illustrate books about...

Students construct a barometer to use in an experiment that they design to measure the air pressure on a daily basis. These observations of air pressure allow students to determine how weather is affected when a storm is approaching and...

Students use email to chart weather patterns and then graph their findings. In this weather patterns lesson, students chart their weather for a week at the school. Students then use email to find temperatures at a variety of locations....

Eighth graders study topics related to global weather patterns and their local effects. They hone their research and presentation skills using online resources content specific tools, and graphing data. They create simple PowerPoint...

Students examine the interactions of the Earth's systems and other objects in space.  In this climate change lesson students study the pros and cons of different climates and what their preferences are. 

Students study currents and how they have been used to plot courses for travel. They examine the ocean currents in both the Atlantic and Pacific and discuss their effect on local weather.
