Classroom Weather Station
1. In the Weather Stations and Weather Forecasts: Can You Do It Yourself? lesson, students make various weather monitoring tools that function as part of a DIY weather station. With these tools, students can observe and collect weather-related data, learn about weather patterns and weather forecasting. The weather station lesson incorporates lessons for building simple weather monitoring instruments like an anemometer, a hygrometer, a thermometer, and a rain gauge. The lesson includes a weath...
Temperature
1. Even though the Sun is about 93 million miles away, some of the light it radiates reaches Earth. In the How Sunlight Warms the Earth lesson, students experiment to see how the Sun's light warms up the surface of materials on Earth. Using cups filled with different materials, such as soil, water, and rocks, students explore what happens to each material when the cups are placed in sun or shade. (Note: Thermometers are discussed in this lesson, but observations of temperature in the activity...
Precipitation
1. In the Make a Rain Gauge to Study Precipitation lesson, students learn about precipitation and the importance of measuring precipitation. Using a rain gauge is one way to monitor rainfall. Students explore the function and design of a rain gauge and then make their own. Using a hose or homemade "rain maker" watering cans, students can experiment with how a rain gauge works and why rain gauges of varying sizes should record the same amount of rainfall. Question: Why and how do meteorologist...
As students learn about weather and what causes weather patterns and changes, they also make connections to seasons and the water cycle. Beginning in upper elementary grades and continuing through high school, students can build upon weather science concepts to explore climate on both local and global levels. With global climate change and global w...
