Learning Lesson: Measure the Pressure -- The "Wet" Barometer
Students use simple objects to create their own barometer. They have five days to build it and ten days to observe and collect data. They examine thunderstorm safety tips to end the lesson.
Curated OER
Learning Lesson: Measure the Pressure II -- The "Dry" Barometer
Learners use simple items to create their own aneroid barometer. They have five days to build it and ten days to observe and collect data. They examine tornado safety tips to end the lesson.
Curated OER
Severe Weather Planning
Fourth graders research the need to prepared for a severe weather event. They select one type of weather condition and explain how to be prepared in a report.
Curated OER
Weather Records
Students write newspaper articles using a "weather record" worksheet and information they find in newspapers.
Curated OER
Weather Myths
Fourth graders relate myths to weather phenomenon. They write and illustrated a weather myth and present it to the class.

Curated OER
(S-1A) Weather and the Atmosphere
Students discuss the way vertical convection transports heat from the surface upwards, and associated pressure and temperature profiles of the atmosphere.
Curated OER
High and Low: Pressures and Fronts
Students investigate basic information about high- and low-pressure fronts and how they affect the weather. They observe weather patterns and cloud formations. Students study the basic pattern of movement of high- and low-pressure...
Curated OER
Weather Art in Space Settlements
Students demonstrate a cloud formation and the relation between pressure and temperature in gases. They explain how clouds could be created in space settlements and see the relation between pressure and temperature in gases.
Curated OER
Weather Station Report
For this science worksheet, students fill out the data report for the seven different questions. The focus is upon the interpretation of data.
Curated OER
Hot Air Balloon
Learners view a video and discuss the mechanics of a hot air balloon. They, in groups, construct a functioning hot air balloon.
Curated OER
Weather Around the World
Students learn a few key weather terminology and a variety of climates through examining and recording weather characteristics in a variety of communities around the world.
Curated OER
Earth's Weather
Seventh graders learn how solar radiation, latitude, and other factors affect weather. They break into six groups and are assigned a topic to research and to present their findings orally.

What's Up With Updrafts?
Students demonstrate how hail and rain are suspended in the air during a storm. For this lesson on storms and weather, students use a hair dryer and ping pong ball to demonstrate how hail and rain can be suspended in the air during a storm.
Curated OER
Create a Cloud in a Bottle
Learners look at how clouds form. In this cloud lesson, students make a cloud using water, 2 liter bottles and a match. They watch how the pressure and temperature changes the atmosphere in the bottle to create a cloud.
Curated OER
Weather
Students track wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, air temperature, and precipitation for a month using a newspaper. They chart the data over a months time.
Curated OER
Learning Lesson: Crunch Time
Young scholars demonstrate the effect of heat on pressure. They use a 2-liter bottle and hot tap water to complete the experiments. They also discuss thunderstorm safety rules.
