This lesson plan is designed to be used with our publication, "I am a Meteorologist."  This lesson plan introduces elementary school students to the basic concepts of meteorology - the study of the Earth's atmosphere and weather phenomena. Students will learn about the different components of weather, including temperature, precipitation, wind, and air pressure. Students with an accompanied worksheet and demonstrations, will explore how these weather elements interact to create the variety of weather patterns we experience.
 
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to explain the importance of studying weather and meteorology, understand how weather patterns and systems form and change over time,
apply meteorological concepts to make simple weather forecasts
