What is Going on with Weather?

Posted on 06:06 by Unknown

The weather has been quite a popular topic on the news recently!
And I think it is one of the topics coming soon on some pacing guides …
In attempt to answer the questions my daughter has been asking as well as the ones I hear students ask at school, I decided to search around and see what I resources I could find!
When I first did a search for weather, air pressure, predictions, and weather instruments, I was a bit overwhelmed by the results that came back …
As I looked closer at the results, I saw that many of them were not exactly things I would want to share with my daughter or students in the classroom …
Here are a few of the ones that met my standards for sharing:
General
  • What is the weather? Dress the bear activity  
  • Weather Whiz Kids  
  • Sid the Science Kid from PBS.org 
  • Franklin Institute Educational Hotlists  
  • Weather Whiz Kids 
  • Wild Weather Adventure from NASA
Weather Instruments/Measuring Weather
  • Air Pressure and Wind from the Weather Dude (there is written information, you can hear a clip of the song, and see the lyrics to the song to help explain high and how pressure)
  • Winds from WeatherWhizKids (prevailing, westerlies, easterlies, jet stream, global pattern …)
  • Weather Instruments from Weather Whiz Kids 
  • Weather Instruments Slideshow from StudyJams 
  • Measuring Weather with Tools from National Geographic Education 
  • Weather Instruments Video from youtube 
Clouds
  • Cloud Types from NASA (also look at some of the related resources on this page)
  • Cloud Types from Windows to the Universe 
  • Science up Close: Clouds from Harcourt (interactive)
  • Cloud Images from National Geographic Kids 
Weather Forecasts
  • Predicting the Weather from EdHeads.org 
  • Weather Forecasting from WeatherWhizKids 
  • Tips for Predicting from WebWeather for Kids 
  • Weather Forecasting from The Weather Channel Kids!
  • Forecasting Under Pressure from Tree House Weather Kids 

Do you have some other great resources I can add to my list?
Please let me know!
