In this activity, learners graph 48 hourly air temperatures from a local weather observation site and observe the diurnal temperature variations.

In this activity, learners create their own weather forecast map.

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

This lesson plan enables learners to explore the differences between weather and climate.

In this interactive and informative group activity, learners use packages of M&M's to illustrate the difference between weather and climate.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting) is a full inquiry investigation into meteorology and forecasting.

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

In this activity (located on pages 9-14 of PDF), learners visit a cemetery to examine the distinguishing characteristics of rock weathering.

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

In this interdisciplinary activity, learners create a Space Weather Action Center (SWAC) to monitor solar storms and develop real SWAC news reports.

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 weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.

In this activity, learners working in pairs saturate a cotton ball using water drops from an eyedropper to demonstrate the high water capacity of clouds.

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

Learners build a simple aneroid barometer to learn about changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They observe their barometer and record data over a period of days.

In this activity, learners explore how the shapes, sizes, and distances of land masses appear differently on two different models of Earth: an icosahedron and a flat map.

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.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this activity, learners will rate the day, a book, or something else on a scale from -2 to 2. This activity works well for groups of all ages.
