Our Desert Backyard
Students make observations of their own backyard. In this environment lesson, students keep records of the plants and animals they see in their home or school yard. Students make notes of how the weather and environment changes over...
Curated OER
Kaboom!
Students identify the three ingredients of weather.. They create weather vanes, thermometers, and rain gauges.
Curated OER
Blowin' In The Wind
Young scholars predict and hypothesize the reasons for wind movement. After viewing a video, they describe the effects of a high and low pressure system and what makes the wind blow. In groups, they construct instruments that measure...

Measuring the Wind 1
In this science worksheet, students follow the directions and construct a simple instrument to measure the speed of the wind. Students then measure the wind speed and record data for one school week. On other pages students construct a...
Curated OER
And Now, the Weather...
Students collect and analyze data. In this middle school mathematics/science lesson, students collect temperature reading over a 24 hour period. Students analyze the data for mean, median, maximum and minimum.
Curated OER
Comparing Temperature, Pressure, and Humidity
Students investigate data on temperature, pressure, and humidity by downloading information from the ARM Website. Working in groups, they discover how weather impacts life in each of the ARM sites. They record weather data in their...
Curated OER
What Do You Know!
Students experiment using a compass for navigation and consider how various instruments affect how we travel.
Curated OER
Science: What Is a Barometer?
Fourth graders discover how barometers help to predict the weather. Using newspapers, they examine the weather forecast and determine the meaning of high and low as they pertain to pressure. After making cluster diagrams, 4th graders...
Curated OER
You Can Take the Pressure!
Students construct and use a barometer over a period of 1-2 weeks to investigate and predict upcoming weather from barometric pressure.
Curated OER
This Lesson Is a Breeze, So Don't Blow It!
Learners conduct an experiment to show that air is all around us and that wind is the movement of air. They construct a weather vane to determine which direction the wind is blowing.
Curated OER
How Wet Did It Get?
Students measure the rainfall/snowfall on the playground on a rainy/snowy day with a rain/snow gauge. They draw a bar graph representing the amount of water that fell and observe a satellite image of the clouds and local weather system...
Curated OER
Build a Precipitation Gauge
Students build a precipitation gauge. In this weather lesson, students follow step-by-step directions to build a precipitation gauge that can be used to measure snowfall.
Curated OER
757 Glider Kit
Students work together to complete a 757 Glider kit. They use a GPS to discover how it operates in all weather landings. They complete different obstacles with the glider as well.
Curated OER
Activities to Enhance STEDII Data
Students develop an understanding of related weather processes such as wind, cloud cover, and temperature using STEDII data and instrumentation. In addition, they integrate mathematical calculations to produce a forecast map.
Curated OER
School Temperatures
Learners collect and record temperatures throughout the school. Using this information they compare and contrast the temperatures recorded from various spots throughout the school.
Curated OER
"Use an Anemometer," said the Meteorologist
Students participate in an hands-on construction of an instrument to measure wind speed.
Curated OER
"Use an Anemometer," said the Meteorologist
Students work in groups to make an instrument the Meteorologists use to measure the speed of the wind after the teacher reads them a poem about the wind. Students then review vocabulary that they studied from their lesson.
Curated OER
Making Thunderstorms
First graders investigate the causes of thunderstorms and create the sounds of a thunderstorm.
Curated OER
Fahrenheit vs Celsius
Students make a thermometer and write a paragraph about how they did it.
Curated OER
Air Pressure is Powerful
Students construct a barometer and collect data on the changes in air pressure. They work is small groups using plastic tubing, corks, and green food coloring. They then use a formula to convert inches of mercury to barometric pressure...
Curated OER
Manage Soil
Learners identify and classify soil ypes according to data on the soil triangle. Given examples, students identify soil conservation practices, using criterion assessment instrument. When giving a case situation involving soil...
Curated OER
Temperature Variations and Habitability
Students, in groups, evaluate conditions outside the building and inside the classroom using thermometers, barometers, anemometers, etc. They compare interior and exterior conditions. They consider and discuss factors that contribute...
