In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

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

In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

Just like birds, some dinosaurs had air-filled (pneumatic) bones, which made the dinosaurs' skeletons lighter.

In this activity, learners make a barometer, an instrument to measure change in air pressure.

In this weather activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate the changes in atmospheric pressure by constructing their own barometer.

In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hovercraft) is a full inquiry investigation into hovercraft engineering and design optimization.

This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.
