Curated OER
Weather Watchers
Students engage in this weather predicting lesson. They discover instrumentation used in the meteorological science. With this knowledge, they will create their own "low-tech" versions of weather instrumentation such as thermometers,...
Curated OER
Keeping Warm
Students place words describing a range from cold to hot on a scale. Using those words, they identify places on Earth which are cold, hot, freezing or boiling. They practice using and reading a thermometer with three different beakers...
Curated OER
Keep Cool
Students design an experiment to determine which type of container would be best to use to keep drinks cool on a hot day. Students test paper cups, styrofoam cups, and metal cans by filling them with ice water and they use a thermometer...
Curated OER
Today's Weather on Mars
Students investigate the temperature and wind data locally, nationally, and internationally and compare these conditions to those on Mars. Conclusions are drawn about the differences of these conditions and the causes for the variance...
Curated OER
Air-Plant Interaction
First graders observe, measure, and predict the growth of bean seedlings. They construct graphs of their findings after altering the temperature of the air for the seedlings. They deduct what would happen if the temperature was much lower.
Curated OER
Keeping Cool
Young scholars investigate the air conditioner units around the school. They chart the temperature by placing a thermometer in different situations and decide how to keep cool and save energy in the summer.
Curated OER
Meteorologists
Fourth graders investigate the work of a meteorologist and then take on the identity of one to make reports on clouds and temperature.
