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

Weather Vane and Anemometer
Source Institutions
In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

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

Do Cities Affect the Weather?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

Measure the Pressure: The "Wet" Barometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

Measure the Pressure II: The "Dry" Barometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

The Crayon Rock Cycle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.

Pages of a Forbidden Tome
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use chemistry to produce weathered "antiqued" paper with burned edges. Learners first soak white paper in coffee and then apply a charring solution of ammonium chloride.

Inverted Bottles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate convection by using food coloring and water of different temperatures.

AM in the PM
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will listen to as many radio stations as possible to discover that AM radio signals can travel many hundreds of miles at night.

Running in Circles
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners use some common objects and work together to simulate the Coriolis effect. During the challenge, learners make predictions and test different scenarios.

Carbon Cycle Poster
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners gain knowledge about how carbon moves through all four of the Earth’s major spheres (biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere), and understand how humans influenc

Quadraphonic Wind
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how the extent of various wind speeds changes in each of the four quadrants around a hurricane.

Making Sense of Sensors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

Measuring the Wind
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

The Carbon Cycle: How It Works
Source Institutions
In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

Exploring Earth: Temperature Mapping
Source Institutions
This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.
