Students analyze data from maps. In this comparing data lesson, students use comparative and superlative statements to draw comparisons among the weather in different American cities based on USA Today weather maps.

In this weather worksheet, students view a weekly forecast for Bradford, United Kingdom and answer short answer questions about it. Students complete 7 questions.

Students explore the concept of mathematical models. In this mathematical model lesson, students create a mathematical model from data from 4 cities over 15 months. Students are told they are working for a weather station. Students...

Fourth graders describe weather data using the mean, median and mode. In this mean, median and mode instructional activity, 4th graders understand how to calculate data using mean, median and mode and why they would use each one.

Students explore bar and line graphs. In this data collection, graphing, and weather lesson, students compare bar and line graphs and discuss which type of graph would be most appropriate for displaying a ten day weather forecast....

Students discover how weather conditions can give rise to severe storms and tornadoes. They study the different types of severe weather, how they can track conditions in their own neighborhood, and how to prepare for the worst.

Students describe how the sun heats the Earth, explain the nature of infrared light, explain how thunderstorms are formed and use infrared maps to predict severe weather.

Learners use a thermometer to record temperatures from their homes throughout the city, and then hypothesize reasons for the temperature variations. They use a weather graph worksheet that's imbedded in this lesson to orgainize their data.

Students examine hurricanes. In this web-based meteorology lesson, students study the relationship between ocean temperature and hurricane intensity. They differentiate between intensity and frequency of hurricanes.
