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

Students take a quick examine part of the water cycle, and the combined gas laws. The instructional activity lead them through the conditions necessary for cloud formation and allow them to create clouds in three different hands-on...

Students investigate the sky.  In this weather and clouds instructional activity, students observe the sky and write journal entries using their five senses to describe what they see.  Students observe, identify, and write...

Fourth graders study the water cycle and clouds. In this water cycle and cloud lesson, 4th graders determine the definition of condensation and watch a demonstration in which the teacher makes a cloud in a bottle. They discuss the water...

Learners investigate electricity from the sky. In this electricity lesson, students participate in an experiment to simulate the electric charges from the sky. Learners discuss results.

Students discover how clouds form. They use the internet to read about the formation of clouds. They work together in groups to create their own clouds. They identify and label the four cloud types.

Learners observe and describe the sky as they discover the different cloud types. They record the types of clouds they see twice a day. They also use the internet to view a skywatcher chart. They end the lesson by discussing foggy...

Students participate in a demonstration about the water capacity of clouds. They work in partners to estimate how many drops of water a cottonball hold and then use an eyedropper to test their guesses.

In this weather worksheet, students conduct an experiment where they record the weather observations for a week. Then they determine the air pressure using an aneroid barometer and estimate the amount of sky covered by clouds. Students...

Students examine how natural processes change the earth by identifying their local water cycle. Individual students complete a cloud journal over a specific period of time. They observe clouds daily and take photographs of the clouds...

Students examine how clouds are made.

Students explore and analyze weather conditions, climates, compositions and characteristics of the atmosphere and weather patterns. They explain in detail the water cycle and its relationship to weather patterns. A lab experiment is...

Students explore air and clouds by watching demonstration. They perform an experiment to measure air pressure changes.

Students observe an experiment showing the formation of a cloud. They write a paragraph summarizing the condition that are necessary for a cloud to form and explain the weather situations cause cloud formation.

Third graders identify "ingredients" of a cloud. They determine if a given weather scenario is beneficial for cloud formation.

Students classify clouds as transparent, translucent or opaque. They conduct an experiment to determine the visual opacity of several classroom objects and then conduct further observations of clouds.

Third graders study clouds and how they are formed. They write acrostic poems about clouds and analyze and graph temperature data collected during varying degrees of cloud cover.

Students conduct an experiment to determine dew point and use a formula to detemine altitude. They construct a chart and predict what altitude clouds would form, given the dew point on the ground.

Students, in groups, investigate and demonstrate the science behind the development of lightning and thunderstorms.

The 3 steps of the water cycle, evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, are the focus of this lesson. After a neat demonstration of rain using hot water, a pie tin, and ice cubes, young scientists observe and discuss the elements...

Class members read 25 clues about all areas of science, including biology, chemistry, weather, physical science, and insert their answers into a crossword puzzle. There is no word bank and the students would need experience with tough...

Students explore the weather system by analyzing water properties. In this precipitation lesson, students review weather related vocabulary terms and discuss how rainbows are created by light hitting droplets at the right time. Students...

Students probe the dynamic weather changes through several hands-0n activities in this seven lessons unit. The hydrologic cycle, clouds, atmosphere, air movement, fronts, and forecasting form the components presented in this unit.

Fifth graders participate in a WebQuest that introduces them to a study on clouds and how they relate to weather systems.
