Here is a song I created to help my 6th grade students study. I hope you enjoy.

Since air is a fluid

Can be dry or humid

Moving to low pressure from high

Local winds are short ones

Uneven heating

Anemometer measures high



The breeze that the wind gives

Right around sunset

A land breeze at my back

But in the morning

Wind comes toward me

A sea breeze moving inland

Oh, but with seasons

Monsoons, oh, in Asian land



Do you know if it's a cold front? oh

Moving quickly changing weather, eh

Or maybe it's a warm front? oh

Slowly moving bringing water, eh



Warm air meets cold, a standoff

Stationary fronts-rain

Occluded-warm air's cut off, oh

Cool air squashes and cools it, eh



You know air can move like pockets

Global winds rock

Convection currents equator to the poles

The Earth is always spinning

Effect Coriolis-curving wind changing the flow



Many years sailors trade winds helped them

Move west to sell their prize

Equator-there are doldrums

Wind is very ho hum

30 South and 30 North

Oh, no back and forth

Horse latitudes throw them overboard



Do you know if it's a cold front? oh

Moving quickly changing weather, eh

Or maybe it's a warm front? oh

Slowly moving bringing water, eh



Warm air meets cold, a standoff

Stationary fronts-rain

Occluded-warm air's cut off, oh

Cool air squashes and cools it, eh



Prevailing Westerlies, blow the air

From west to east they, come again

Polar easterlies, from the east

Away from poles, it blows away from poles



And the bands of high winds, called jet streams

Wander north and south, on a path

Mostly moving, west to east

Aiding planes, on cruise control



Do you know if it's a cold front? oh

Moving quickly changing weather, eh

Or maybe it's a warm front? oh

Slowly moving bringing water, eh



Warm air meets cold, a standoff

Stationary fronts-rain

Occluded-warm air's cut off, oh

Cool air squashes and cools it, eh





Is it a cold front? oh

Or maybe it's a warm one? eh

Complex occluded front, oh

Could it be a stationary one? eh

It might be a cyclone, oh

Or an anticyclone

I said oh, no, no, no, no
