Secondary School Weather Science Lesson Plans for Teachers
Advanced and basic high school lesson plans are featured. Many lessons are cross-curricular and can be completed in chemistry or physics classess in addition to the earth science classes. I am always happy to add new links to this list. If you have a high quality weather lesson plan, please email me and I will consider it for publication.

Atmospheric Moisture As A Tool for Locating the Jet Stream
Students will be able to read a psychrometer and interpret the readings. Students will understand how to interpret water vapor content measurements measured by infrared sensors on satellites. Students will gain an understanding of the relationship of water vapor high in the atmosphere to the movement of Jet Streams.

The NOAA Earth Activity Book for Student and Family Fun
During the 200th anniversary celebration of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) an activity book full of almost 200 pages of learning material was introduced. This book covers the exploration, understanding, and protection of Earth resources through a series of lessons. Teachers and students will find this book a unique and fun way to learn about the earth and all its parts including the weather. It would also make a great family activity and is free to print!
