Make Your Own Weather Station
Source Institutions
This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.

If Anyone Can, Icon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.

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.

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.

Make Your Own Barometer
Source Institutions
In this weather activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate the changes in atmospheric pressure by constructing their own barometer.

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.

Measure the Pressure: The "Wet" Barometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

Measure the Pressure II: The "Dry" Barometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

Twirling in the Breeze
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

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.

Stargazing
Source Institutions
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.

Dinosaur Breath
Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, learners examine the geological (ancient) carbon cycle.
Without An Ark: The Effects of Storms and Floods
Source Institutions
April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?
