Weather Vane
Source Institutions
In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

What's the Difference between Weather and Climate?
Source Institutions
In this interactive and informative group activity, learners use packages of M&M's to illustrate the difference between weather and climate.

DIY Weather Vane
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will engineer their own weather vane. This activity includes step-by-step instructions with pictures and a "What's Happening?" section explaining how the activity worked.

Sizing Up Hail
Source Institutions
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.

Weather Forecasting
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting) is a full inquiry investigation into meteorology and forecasting.

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

Shake and Break
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will model the mechanical weathering and erosion of rocks in a stream or river.

Water Cycle in a Bag
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the water cycle by creating a small atmosphere.

Weather Stations: Storms
Source Institutions
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.

Wonderful Weather
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

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

Let's Dew It!
Source Institutions
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.

Good News: We're on the Rise!
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.

A Degrading Experience
Source Institutions
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.

Paper Cup Anemometer
Source Institutions
In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

Probability: Chances Are
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners identify the likelihood of an event by using a walk-on probability scale.

Homemade Rain Gauge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build rainwater collectors to practice meteorology in their own backyard. Collect and analyze data to determine how much rainfall you get in a set period of time.

Where Does the Wind Blow?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate wind by comparing the force of wind in different locations. Learners build wind-o-meters out of wooden sticks and strips of paper.

Regolith Formation
Source Institutions
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.

Whatta Web
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a game to simulate the food chain.
