Be a Weather and Climate Watcher - This activity, provided by the Midwestern Regional Climate Center (MRCC), provides guidelines for a weather observing activity where students are given the task of measuring and recording daily weather observations. Over time, this activity will allow students to gain a better understanding of their local climate, and how seasonal averages change through the duration of the activity.

Fun with Rainfall Measurements - This activity from the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS) and the Colorado State University Extension provides instructions for a fun activity that gives students the chance to take and record measurements using a rain gauge.

CoCoRaHS for Schools - Teachers and students are given the opportunity to become official CoCoRaHS observers, with the duty to record and report daily weather observations to CoCoRaHS where it will be stored in a large data base and possibly used in future scientific research.

Make a Crystal Snowflake! - This activity from Science Kids gives students the opportunity to make a snowflake using borax and a few other easy to find household items.

Mount Washington Distance Learning - Students participating in this activity will partake in an "in classroom field trip", having the opportunity to interact with a real meteorologist working at the home of the world's worst weather, the Mount Washington Observatory on Mount Washington, New Hampshire. Weather observers will teach students about the duties of being a weather observer, and will answer questions about the extreme climate that they work and live in.
