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 play a game to simulate the food chain.

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.

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

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 outdoor, warm weather activity, learners use sweepnets to search a grassy area such as a large lawn or field, collecting small animals to find as many different kinds of animals as possible.

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

By participating in a seed scavenger hunt, learners examine many adaptations of seeds, including how many seeds a plant makes, how those seeds travel to new locations, and what protects them from pred

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