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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Do Cities Affect the Weather?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Running in Circles
Source Institutions
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.

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.

Make a Water Cycle Wristband
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.

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.

A Hole in the Ground
Source Institutions
Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.
