Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

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

Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

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

Agriculturalists have long considered mushroom growing a challenge, largely because you need a piece of benchtop equipment known as a laminar flow hood.

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

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 activity, learners turn empty 2-liter bottles into a see-through compost container.
