Description

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ This is an engaging and meaningful activity to reinforce weather and practice using and analyzing weather maps! Students create and analyze a current weather map using a live surface weather map using the provided link . Students draw in and label weather fronts, air pressure systems, and precipitation, and answer analysis question about the map to predict future weather.

Great for classwork, homework, remediation, review, formative assessment, enrichment, or sub-plans. It’s hands on and relevant because it deals with current live weather happening around the United States right now! No Prep! Just need the handout of your choice and some colored pencils!

TOPICS INCLUDE
• Creating and Analyzing Weather Maps
• Weather Fronts
• Air Pressure Systems
• Precipitation
• Weather Prediction

WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE


Weather Maps Lesson Plan and Answer Key: A comprehensive teacher lesson plan with standards, sequence, tips, answers, and more. Perfect if you are new to teaching weather or you just need a handy lesson plan to share or give to an administrator.


Three Weather Maps Handouts: Each map has clear directions, a link to the current weather map of the U.S., and image of U.S., and analysis questions for students to answer about their map after they created it. Versions include a map with no states labeled, a map with state abbreviations labeled, and a map with full names of state labeled.


Student Example: A full color student example is included in your download to project to your students as you are previewing (or while they are completing) the lesson. Each day the weather is different, and they will be using real current data, so it is completely safe to project the example as your students are working to see what is expected.

Standards

NGSSHS-ESS2-4
Use a model to describe how variations in the flow of energy into and out of Earth's systems result in changes in climate. Examples of the causes of climate change differ by timescale, over 1-10 years: large volcanic eruption, ocean circulation; 10-100s of years: changes in human activity, ocean circulation, solar output; 10-100s of thousands of years: changes to Earth's orbit and the orientation of its axis; and 10-100s of millions of years: long-term changes in atmospheric composition. Assessment of the results of changes in climate is limited to changes in surface temperatures, precipitation patterns, glacial ice volumes, sea levels, and biosphere distribution.
NGSSMS-ESS2-4
Develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth’s systems driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity. Emphasis is on the ways water changes its state as it moves through the multiple pathways of the hydrologic cycle. Examples of models can be conceptual or physical. A quantitative understanding of the latent heats of vaporization and fusion is not assessed.
NGSSMS-ESS2-5
Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses result in changes in weather conditions. Emphasis is on how air masses flow from regions of high pressure to low pressure, causing weather (defined by temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, and wind) at a fixed location to change over time, and how sudden changes in weather can result when different air masses collide. Emphasis is on how weather can be predicted within probabilistic ranges. Examples of data can be provided to students (such as weather maps, diagrams, and visualizations) or obtained through laboratory experiments (such as with condensation). Assessment does not include recalling the names of cloud types or weather symbols used on weather maps or the reported diagrams from weather stations.
