This file has the below Weather Maps, Humidity activity, and a bunch of pictures I've pulled from the textbook and internet.

Pull up the NOAA weather maps for several days in a row and put each on on a Notebook page. Then have students look at the fronts/pressure systems and what weather it brought.
 * Weather Maps**

USA Map in Notebook and the weather symbols - have students go to the SMART Board and draw in the weather symbols as you describe the weather.

Draw a line in the middle of the page and fill both sides with circles. Color half the circles on the left in grey (for air) and only 1/3 of them on the right. You now have warm vs. cold air on the board. Cold air being the left as the molecules are closer together. All the unfilled circles are where you COULD have water. At 100% humidity they would all be filled in blue (which you can do witht he paint bucket tool now). Change around the amount of filled in circles to demonstrate relative vs. actual humidity and show that different temperatures of air hold different amounts of water. You can even put a line half way up this page (which is now divided in 1/4ths) and fill all the circles in blue up to that point around the air. This can show that 50% relative humidity in warm air has more water in it than 50% relative humidity in cold air.
