Students will explore chosen outdoor careers and how the careers connect to certain climates based on temperature and precipitation. The guiding question states "How might you use evidence from weather data and dot plot displays to allow you to identify which location's climate would be best for your career and why?" Students will collect data online and display the data using dot plots on posters with analysis using the mean. Students will engage in collaboration throughout. A power point is included with all necessary resources.

Type: Lesson Plan

In this lesson, students will analyze an informational text, maps, and data tables intended to support reading in the content area. The article, "Climate Change Could Stall Atlantic Ocean Current" explains how interactions between Earth's spheres can have a global impact on ocean currents, climate, and weather. This lesson includes a note-taking guide, text-dependent questions, a writing prompt, answer keys and a writing rubric.

The changing climate is an important topic for both scientific analysis and worldly knowledge. This lesson uses data collected by the National Snow and Ice Data Center to create and use statistical analysis as a tool to evaluate the mean and variation from the mean of sea ice loss.

In this lesson, students will demonstrate knowledge on how various factors will affect climate and subsequently affect the weather of an area. Students will review the ways that climate is changed (mountains, ocean currents, global winds, latitude, altitude, etc.) and hypothesize how that change will affect the weather of an area.

This lesson will help students learn to differentiate between weather and climate.

Students will learn the difference between and weather and climate.

Students will watch an animated video and then take part in an activity which uses a combination of jelly beans (each color representing a different type of weather event) and bags (to represent locales) to help students learn how to distinguish between weather and climate.

Students will understand or have a better understanding of the difference between weather and climate by the end of the lesson. The teacher will discuss the two concepts and then move on to show students a WeatherSTEM station in their city and the data that it yields.

This lesson is a student-driven, inquiry lesson that focuses on the differences between weather and climate. The lesson is designed to promote discussion about weather and climate and encourages students to use evidence from an article and a video to support their thought processes regarding the differences between weather and climate.

Students will analyze a set of data to determine the best location for a family fishing trip based on annual and monthly weather patterns. Students will consider average number of rainy days, wind speed, average number of sunny days, and relative humidity for each location.

Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. Click here to learn more about MEAs and how they can transform your classroom.

This activity provides students with an open-ended, realistic problem for which students will research, discuss, and present the characteristics of 8 trees based on characteristics, type of wood, and suitability for growth in wet or dry climate with current weather patterns. Their objective is to promote the soil erosion prevention Students support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence, as they produce clear and coherent writing to describe the project of their structure ins development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.

Uncle Henry's Dilemma is a problem solving lesson to determine the global location for the reading of Uncle Henry's will. The students will interpret data sets which include temperature, rainfall, air pollution, travel cost, flight times and health issues to rank five global locations for Uncle Henry's relatives to travel to for the reading of his will. This is an engaging, fun-filled MEA lesson with twists and turns throughout. Students will learn how this procedure of selecting locations can be applied to everyday decisions by the government, a business, a family, or individuals.

Students will collect weather data over several days or weeks, graph temperature data, and compare the temperature data collected with averaged climate data where they live, to better understand the differences between weather and climate.

Text Resources

This informational text resource is intended to support reading in the content area. This article describes how climate change impacts ocean currents which, in turn, can affect the countries which lie along these currents. A description of a model is included to make a prediction of what will happen to the currents if climate change continues with increasing amounts of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.

Type: Text Resource

This informational text is intended to support reading in the content area. The text covers many topics about weather and climate including the water cycle, seasons, greenhouse effect, and climate change.

Students can use this lesson to guide and support them in addressing personal, local, and global problems.

The lesson can support students in understanding the ripple effect and how their individual actions can make a difference.

This lesson can be used in Social Studies or Language Arts classrooms.

Additional Prerequisites

Teachers should consider their students’ needs before participating in the Knot Game:

Students who struggle socially or with physical space may benefit from breaking into smaller groups. Teacher can also assign students to groups.

Students with sensory impairment or students who are uncomfortable with holding hands may benefit from using handkerchiefs or scarves for students to hold instead of hands.

Students should understand there is no one guide that will help solve every problem, but that having a problem-solving guide can be helpful when addressing personal, local, and global issues.

Students should understand that just because a solution is being implemented, it does not necessarily mean the problem has been solved.

Before teaching this lesson, teachers are encouraged to be aware of their student demographics and reflect on different problem-solving that may come up during instruction.

Differentiation

The Inspire section of the Student Document is intended to support students as they brainstorm for their problem-solving guide. Teachers can delete or add questions to best support their class.

Teacher can share example answers from the Teacher Answer Key to support students.

  • This climate action Venn Diagram framework can support students who are struggling to determine a solution or action during the Inspire section problem-solving guide activity.

Teacher can assign the class one problem to solve together.

Students can update their problem-solving guides periodically if they learn more or want to try different strategies.

Teachers with limited access to videos can explain the rules of the Knot Game or write the rules on the board.

This lesson engages students to learn basic strategic thinking skills and create a guide to effectively solve individual, local, and global issues confronting them. All the videos and accompanying materials were reviewed, and this lesson has passed our science review examination.
