Welcome to Web Weather for Kids - 2 views

  •  
    Great website for elementary students about weather. Many activities to engage students as well as teachers.Stories and games make it a fun site to visit and learn at the same time. It also addresses one of the Nebraska State Standards for Science in 2nd grade. This primary site has a teacher guide for ideas to teach about many different kinds of weather related information.
  •  
    This site has lots of information about weather. Students can learn about lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes,blizzards, and floods. There are links to safety, games, activities, stories, and more. One of the games is cloud concentration in which students click on cards to find matching clouds. The stories looked very interesting and were all about severe weather.
  •  
    This site is fun, friendly and easy to navigate. Students can research a topic such as clouds. After students have read about the layers of the clouds they have the options of playing a related game or related activity that could be done in the classroom or at home. Students can learn what makes weather, do activities and learn to predict the weather.

National Weather Service Forecast Office History - Omaha, Nebraska - 1 views

  •  
    This is the history page for the local branch of the Weather Service. It has photos of the various locations throughout the area, both current and past. Then there are some links and information at the bottom of the page. This would be great for the fourth grade when they begin their tornado units in the Spring.

NOAA Education Resources Website - 1 views

  •  
    This website provides information on the climate, weather, the atmosphere, oceans and coasts, and marine life. Students can explore tornadoes, hurricanes, and other weather phenomenon. It provides text and video information along with teacher resources and classroom materials. I think this would be a great site for a middle to high school science classes.

NOAA Photo Library - HOME - 1 views

  •  
    National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's photo library is a primary source for ocean and nature photographs. It is arranged by topic collections. Some of my favorites include: National Severe Storms Laboratory Collection (severe weather), It's a Small World Collection (around the world in alphabetical order), and Coral Kingdom Collection (vertebrates/invertebrates,plants). Excellent examples are provided for use with student lessons (i.e. coral kingdom for living vs. nonliving organisms) as well as student research materials.

NASA - Students - 1 views

  •  
    A science topic that is bound to grab and hold onto everyone's attention is outer space. NASA offers four versions of their student site: K-4, 5-8, 9-12, and higher education. Each version offers some basic "must-haves" for primary sources such as photo libraries, videos, and a link to NASA-TV. In addition, there are games to motivate students, career profiles (to help students see what steps are necessary if they want to become an astronaut), and "Homework Topics" to help students extend their learning. There is also a great NASA Kids Club that is available!

NOAA Photo Libary - Welcome - 2 views

  •  
    This site was created by the National Oceanic and Atmopshperic Association in an effort to share photographs collected by the personnel who work for the agency. This would be a great site for students to collect visual artifacts (past and present) for assignments dealing with weather events and ocean life.
