Wild, Wonderful Weather!



Kids love learning about weather! After all, it's something that impacts them every day…plus weather can be sooooo crazy! I've found some terrific weather sites, games and activities below that your kids will really enjoy. Many would make great centers/stations, and some are just plain fascinating to read!

This is a great four minute video to kick off your weather unit. It's called Bill Nye explains Seasons


This site has 12 links to weather games and simulations.  Kids can even learn cloud names through a game! For 3rd grade and up.

This amazing site is done by a meteorologist just for kids! It is FULL of great facts. This is one site kids can explore for a very long time!


Fantastic! Lots of great information here!


Wow!  This would be a great site to look through and make up a worksheet for kids to find answers at a center.


Great site from NASA


This is a great video about the difference between weather and climate! The first one is for lower elementary, the second is for upper. 











If you're teaching about weather you will probably need some weather task cards. Check out my resource below:

This resource is also available as a PowerPoint
