In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

In this activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting), learners will construct an air cannon by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket and stretching a garbage bag over the other end

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.
