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 three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

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

In this activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.

In this nighttime, outdoor activity, learners keep a record of what they see in the sky by drawing constellations, the Moon, and making note of the weather and conditions each day.

Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.

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 activity, learners model erosion using a clear shoebox and sand or soil.

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 observe mixtures of sand samples glued to note cards, and consider how sand can differ in size, shape, and color, and where it comes from.

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.

In this activity related to climate change and data analysis, learners examine temperature and precipitation data to determine if climate variations are due to El Niño.

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

Build a fruit fly trap out of a 2-liter plastic bottle and some rotten fruit! Fruit flies are easy to catch in warm weather. Once you catch some, you will be able to see their life cycle up-close.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.
