This NASA video segment focuses on the relationship between weather and climate. In this video, students receive a brief introduction to the types of weather and how it influences people's lives. The remainder of the video addresses how weather is formed and the differences between climate and weather.
In the NGSS unit, students are expected to develop an understanding of the difference between climate and weather. Students are also expected to recognize climate zones. This video addresses those concepts. |
|
In this video, students explore the differences between weather and climate. Weather is considered minute by minute changes whereas the climate is the pattern of the weather over time.Students explore the factors that influence the weather and how that plays out over time.
In my science unit, students are expected to explore the differences between climate and weather. This video does a nice job describing the relationship between climate and weather. |

In this video, a Kansas City meteorologist explores the different tools used to predict the weather, how weather patterns form, and how meteorologists use technology to create the news broadcast.
In our standards, students are expected to make connections to college and career. This video provides a nice explanation of new science content, but it also does a fantastic job of highlighting potential careers students interested in weather can explore. It also reinforces unit vocabulary by highlighting the role of the meteorologist. |
|
In this video, students explore how cold and warm fronts work and how pressure systems drive those air masses and create weather.
This connects nicely to the concepts in the unit by building a deeper understanding of how weather forms. Students also learn how to interpret weather maps. |
|
In this video, students explore six common weather instruments and how they are used to measure the weather. Students explore the thermometer, the sling psychrometer, barometer, rain gauge, wind vane, and the anemometer.
This video content connects nicely to the science unit because students are expected to explore how we measure data about the weather. Students will be concentrating most specifically on the thermometer and the rain gauge, but the video helps to build background knowledge and provides extra context for the unit. |
|
In this video, students explore the types of information that meteorologists use to predict the weather. Specifically, students explore how the wind, jet Streams, air cells, the shape and movement of the Earth impact the weather.
This video content connects nicely to the unit as students are expected to develop a beginning understanding of how meteorologists predict the weather. |
|
In this video, students explore how wind, air, precipitation, and land interact to create weather patterns. Students will learn about how a location's proximity to the equator can lead to warmer temperatures.
In my science unit, students learn about the different climate zones. This video helps to provide students with additional context about how these climate zones develop and how many factors are at play when it comes to climate and weather. |
|
In this video, students learn about positive and negative charges and how electrical charges converge to create lightning in storms as they explore the answers to the question - "What causes thunder and lightning?"
In my science unit, students observe various weather patterns. This video provides students with extra background knowledge and information on how storms - particularly lightning storms - develop in a region. |
|
In this video, students begin to make the distinction between typical weather patterns and severe weather. Students explore different types of extreme weather and the impact that they have on the earth and its inhabitants.
As part of the NGSS standards, students are asked to |
|
In this video, students learn about data collection in the context of weather watching. Students explore how to observe, gather, record, and organize weather data over the course of time.
In my science unit, students begin the unit with an introductory activity in which they gather weather information. This video is great model for how to go about organizing and collecting data. |
