Climate Zones: Classifying Seven Weather Stations
Students apply simple rules to temperature and rainfall data to classify climate zones and learn how latitude and elevation affect temperature.
THE LESSON LIBRARY
A good plan.
A better starting point.
Find a lesson that fits your subject, your students, and the time you have.
Science
Gas Laws by the Numbers: Pressure, Volume and Temperature
Students apply Boyle’s, Charles’s, Gay-Lussac’s and ideal gas relationships to numerical problems and explain which direction each variable moves.
Science
Homeostasis Case Study: Staying in Balance on a Hot Walk
Students read a case study, complete a negative-feedback loop, analyze sample temperature and blood sugar data, and explain homeostasis with an analogy.
Mathematics
Integers on the Number Line: Temperatures, Depths and Balances
Students order integers, find absolute value, and add and subtract integers in temperature, depth and money situations.
Study skills & advisory
Number Line Jumps and Arrays
Students use number line jumps to add and subtract, track temperature changes above and below zero, and count objects in arrays to build multiplication fluency.
Career & technical ed.
Safe Food Temperatures: Know the Numbers
Students fill in the safe cooking, holding and cold-storage temperatures, convert them to Celsius, and work two time-in-the-danger-zone problems.
Science
The Greenhouse Effect: How Heat Is Trapped
Students read a short factual passage on the greenhouse effect, put the steps in order, match gases to their sources, and do a percent-increase and temperature-conversion calculation.
Science
Weather vs. Climate: Compare Two Cities with Data
Students sort statements into weather or climate, calculate averages and ranges for two cities, and explain why a coastal city has a milder climate.
