Science of Weather is a flexible earth science module supported in part by the National Science Foundation. It was designed for the middle and high school classroom, but can be adapted for lower grades and for professional development. It can be used as a stand-alone curriculum or as a complement to existing weather, climate, and environmental science modules. It consists of a set of hands-on experiments, math applications, reading assignments, SAT tests, and review guides, scaffolded through individual worksheets. This teacher guide provides step-by-step guidance to teach the first part of the series, Air, with tips and FAQs about

properties of air, volume, mass, density;
density of gases;
CO2 and the recent increase in CO2 concentration;
atoms, molecules, gases and the composition of air;
the history of the discovery of air, from its mass and density, its composition, to the structure of the atom;
the evolution of the atmosphere over the last billions of years.

Students also explore the history of meteorology, and history of science in general, as well as logical reasoning and critical thinking, science writing, summarizing and synthesizing, peer review and constructive criticism, with an emphasis on global and systemic thinking.
