In this activity, learners make an astrolabe, a device used for measuring altitude, including the height of objects in the sky.

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

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

Get all wrapped up in a lesson about skin!

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.

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

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.
