In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.

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.

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

In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.

In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

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 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.

In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.

In this activity, learners discover how to determine the distance to a lightning strike or nearby thunderstorm.

In this weather activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the water cycle through an interactive game.

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

In this two-part lesson, learners discover how large bodies of water can serve as a heat source or sink at different times and how proximity to water moderates climate along the coast.

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

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

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