Site from the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation combines Science and Social Studies. As students examine the various methods of predicting the weather, in Colonial Williamsburg.

Students chart weather conditions, learn how to determine an average temperature, and build paper gliders to observe the effects of wind.

Second graders will measure, record, graph and report changes in local weather utilizing Navajo, Ute, and Spanish words.

This is an introductory lesson to a second grade weather unit. The students will be observing the weather each day for one week and recording their observations in a chart. The students will be integrating information from the Internet...

During this lesson, students will use knowledge they have learned about weather instruments to create a catalog advertisement. Students will use descriptive writing to advertise the use of the weather instrument. They will also use...

After reviewing local weather reports, students will think about whether the presentation of the reports is driving folks to not participate in outdoor activities. The class will create new weather reports that will turn negative weather...

The students will study and be able to tell the difference between cumulus, cirrus, and stratus clouds. As they tell the difference they will be able to tell what the weather will be like.

A lesson where students learn how warm water is less dense than cold water, and what this means for global climate change as ice from the polar regions melts. Students will do experiments in buoyancy and water density when hot or cold,...

This lesson plan allows students to learn about the layers of the atmosphere and to learn how to graph real atmospheric data.

Learn all about the basic meteorological instruments.

A unit where young scholars record daily temperatures, precipitation amounts, observations of weather patterns, shadow length of a set object, and other observations. In addition, they will complete a season-long weekly observation of a...

An activity guide where students refer to the Texas Almanac, which is free to download, for information needed to complete assigned tasks. In this lesson, they investigate typical Texas weather, significant weather events such as...

Students are introduced to the basics of the Earth's weather. Concepts include fundamental causes of common weather phenomena such as temperature changes, wind, clouds, rain and snow. The different factors that affect the weather and the...

Understand that there are reasons that summer and winter storms are different.

This teaching box contains lessons about features of the sun relevant to space weather prediction.

Students are introduced to some essential meteorology concepts so they more fully understand the impact of meteorological activity on air pollution control and prevention. First, they develop an understanding of the magnitude and...

Students are introduced to air masses, with an emphasis on the differences between and characteristics of high - versus low-pressure air systems. Students also hear about weather forecasting instrumentation and how engineers work to...

Students learn that wind and storms can form at the boundaries of interacting high and low pressure air masses. They learn the distinguishing features of the four main types of weather fronts (warm fronts, cold fronts, stationary fronts...

Middle schoolers investigate a physical model to explore how satellite data impacts weather monitoring and forecasting.

Students learn about the remote sensing radio occultation technique and how engineers use it with GPS satellites to monitor and study the Earth's atmospheric activity. Students may be familiar with some everyday uses of GPS, but not as...

Learners track barometric pressure, wind direction, temperature, and clouds. The class records daily readings in these for areas and attempt to formulate patterns to use in forecasting the weather based on these elements.

Looking at models and maps, students explore different pathways and consequences of pollutant transport via the weather and water cycles. In an associated literacy activity, students develop skills of observation, recording and reporting...

This resource presents many science lessons with related activities for students in grades 6-8. Content addresses tools for coping with disasters such as tornadoes, fires, lightning, floods and general preparedness.

Can you learn economics from the weather? Young scholars will be able to integrate science, math, and economics through this engaging lesson. The forecast predicts some percentage chance of success.
