Create a plan of action. Think about your students' grade level. Figure out what they already know about the subject, and then decide where to go from there. You wouldn't want to teach first graders about Doppler imaging, so you need to tailor the plan to fit your class. Remember the amount of time you have to cover the subject as well, since this will dictate how in-depth you can go.

Consider your resources. When you create lesson plans, you need to take inventory of what you have at your disposal. If you live in an area that's prone to hurricanes, there may be a local hurricane center in the area that you could use for a field trip or for research. Consider talking to your local weather station to find out if they can help you with your lesson.

Decide on your lesson-plan objectives. While the key to creating lesson plans is to expose your kids to a wide variety of information, you need to have specific goals in mind for your lesson. You may want them to be able to read a Doppler chart or understand how hurricanes form.

Write out a detailed lesson plan. Write out each step in detail, so that when it comes time to do the lesson, you're prepared. Don't forget to include independent practice activities like work sheets or craft projects to give the children a chance to work on the subject on their own.
