Secondary School Weather Science Lesson Plans for Teachers

Students will be able to read an anemometer and interpret the readings. Students will understand that winds blow faster over the ocean because, there are no natural barriers to cause friction where as, the winds over land blow slower because the natural land objects cause friction.

Online Smog Activity

The History of Winter or HOW program is a project through which teachers and students can join forces completing hands on science experiments reporting and recording information about winter weather, snow formation, and the shapes of snowflakes. This multi-faceted program offers teachers and students a chance to collaborate with others all around the country.

Sewer Slugs, density experiment, atmosphere density, atmosphere thickness

The latest and best weather lessons are available as a distance learning course that teaches intermediate and advanced meteorology. Although you don't have to register, if you do register here, you can keep track of the modules you have finished and keep a running record of your quiz scores.

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.

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!

Lesson plans for teachers on weather instruments are available here. In this lesson, students will be able to read a barometer and interpret the readings. Students will also understand that pressure changes can be related to daily weather changes and forecasting.

Student activities in meteorology or SAM are a series of National Standard aligned lessons offered by NOAA. Each lesson teaches about topics including Doppler radar, tornados, lightning, wind chill, humidity, the disappearing ozone, and more.

Teachers can assign this cooperative project to students to investigate weather around the globe.

Teach and learn the difference between Polar Orbiting Satellites and Geostationary Satellites

Use this NASA lesson plan correlated to the National Science Standards to teach about radio waves and the atmosphere.

Students will learn to evaluate weather data on the internet in this interesting lesson plan for teachers.

Use various styles of poetry to learn about key weather variables.

Use statistical resources to graph lightning data.

A demonstration and lab activity illustrating the fluid properties of air. Expandable to any grade level.

The National Park Services Air Resources Division has designed a set of interactive lessons on acid rain.

Students use the scientific method and the National Standards to investigate greenhouse gases.

In this inquiry lesson, students will use the learning cycle model to track historic hurricanes. Students will extrapolate the Saffir-Simpson scale based on wind speeds along these hurricane tracks.
