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.

In this activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.

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

In this activity, learners will estimate the sizes of balls to learn how to estimate the size of hail. Learners will compare their estimates to the estimates of their peers and the real measurements.

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 activity, learners test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.

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.

From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

In this activity, learners create a CloudSpotter wheel and record the different types of clouds they observe twice daily over several days.

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 discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.
