What educators are saying

This resource was very easy to use with my students. The powerpoint was super helpful especially when using the notes for students. I will definitely use this product again.
I am loving this resource! It has lots of great activities for the students to work on to learn how weather moves across the country. There are enough activities in this to be able to use them for an in-class assignment, a quiz and/or a section of a test. Highly recommend.

Description

Do you feel overwhelmed when it's time to teach weather fronts and air masses? This resource will help you confidently teach students to read and understand weather maps, and how weather fronts and air masses move through Earth's atmosphere and affect our weather patterns.

This comprehensive, no-prep weather resource breaks down information in an easy-to-understand, visual format. It includes a variety of weather map activities to help students master weather-related skills. Inside you'll find a weather PowerPoint presentation, weather map worksheets, a quiz, and a performance-based activity where students will create a weather map and forecast.

Inside this NEWLY UPDATED resource, students will learn how air masses move, weather associated with cold, warm, stationary, and occluded fronts, and how to read and interpret weather map symbols to make simple weather predictions.

Take a look at the preview for an in-depth look at this product.

Included in the presentation, you'll find the following topics:

1. Air masses: definition, how they move (Prevailing Westerlies, Jet Streams, fronts)

2. Types of fronts (warm, cold, occluded, stationary), how they form, weather they are associated with)

3. Isobars

4. Movement of wind (high-pressure to low-pressure areas)

5. High and low-pressure systems and weather associated with them.

6. Weather map practice

This weather resource contains the following:

  • A presentation that describes air masses and their movement, weather fronts, and high and low-pressure systems
  • Weather front foldable with options for differentiation – completed, cloze, and blank notes – to meet learners of various levels and abilities
  • Reading a weather map practice worksheet and answer key
  • Create a Weather Map Cards and Worksheet – key included!
  • Weather symbols to cut out and a full-page map for hands-on practice to use with weather map cards. Great for small groups, stations, and remediation!
  • Weather forecasting practice maps and key
  • Quiz with answer key
  • Word wall vocabulary cards with matching front symbol cards
  • Link to a video demonstration for air masses you can do with your class to demonstrate how high and low pressure affects air masses.
  • Weather forecasting project and rubric (digital included)


Why purchase this weather resource?

  • Differentiated foldable for note-taking
  • Teacher notes included in the presentation for background information provide additional information to help you teach the concept
  • No prep, just print and go, which saves you time!
  • Tested in my classroom and highly engaging for students
  • Includes everything you need to teach the standard thoroughly
  • Quiz and weather forecasting project for assessment

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.
