Grades 6-10. What do your students know about the weather? This group of activities asks students to identify types of storms and weather fronts, and to label the layers of the earth's atmosphere, the stages of the water cycle, and zones of the ocean. Students then match climate zones with descriptions based on temperature, moisture, and vegetation. Students also develop an awareness of ways to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Access for 32 students per year for 60 months.
