These K–2 weather and climate resources introduce young learners to the basic ideas that shape weather and seasons on Earth. Through topics such as Introduction to Weather, Four Seasons and Day Length, Heating and Cooling, and how sunlight warms the Earth, students begin to build an understanding of why weather changes and how the Sun affects our world.
With short videos and simple, hands-on DIY activities, students explore temperature, seasonal patterns, and daily weather in age-appropriate ways. Designed for early elementary classrooms, these lessons encourage curiosity through observation and play, helping students build confidence in science while laying the foundation for deeper weather and climate learning.

SCIENCE LESSONS
These grades 3–5 weather and climate resources help students move beyond observation to explore the processes that shape Earth over time. Through topics such as the water cycle, weathering and erosion, extreme weather solutions, interactions of Earth’s spheres, and the difference between weather and climate, students begin to understand how Earth’s systems work together.
Using engaging videos paired with hands-on DIY investigations and models, students analyze patterns, explore cause-and-effect relationships, and apply their learning through experimentation. These lessons are designed to support upper elementary learners as they build systems thinking, problem-solving skills, and real-world connections through active learning.

These grades 6–8 weather and climate resources challenge students to analyze large-scale Earth systems and explain why weather patterns vary across the globe. Through topics like climate zones and ocean currents, air masses and weather fronts, the causes of seasons, and an introduction to climate change, students investigate how energy and movement drive both daily weather and long-term climate trends.
With inquiry-based videos and more advanced DIY modeling and data-driven activities, students evaluate evidence, simulate complex processes, and test ideas using scientific reasoning. Designed for middle school learners, these lessons deepen understanding through hands-on exploration and critical thinking, helping students connect local weather events to global climate systems.
