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.

In this earth science activity, learners conduct a series of short experiments to explore how rocks change.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

In this activity (on pages 12-15), learners make a crater model and test the effects of weather (rain) on its surface.

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.

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

In this weather activity, learners build their own wind detector and test for the presence of convection currents in their indoor location.

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 construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

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 gain knowledge about how carbon moves through all four of the Earth’s major spheres (biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere), and understand how humans influenc

Learners investigate the concept of humidity by using a dry and wet sponge as a model. They determine a model for 100% humidity, a sponge saturated with water.

In this activity, learners will learn how igneous rock, metamorphic rock, and sedimentary rock are formed as part of the rock cycle and that the same forces that produce/change rocks also produce/chan

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