In this multi-station lab, learners conduct a series of experiments to explore the processes and effects of weathering and erosion.

In this weather activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will construct their very own anemometer to measure wind speed.

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, learners make a barometer, an instrument to measure change in air pressure.

In this activity, learners review and discuss weathering, erosion and mass wasting, to gain a stronger understanding of how Hickory Run’s Boulder Field was formed after the Laurentide Continental Glac

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 activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.

In this demonstration, learners can observe a number of small convection cells generated from a mixture of aluminum powder and silicon oil on a hot plate.

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 activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.

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 "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners set up a simple experiment to find out how sunscreen counteracts the effects of the sun.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

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 indoor and outdoor activity, learners discover that insects grow and develop as do all living things, going through a process known as complete metamorphosis.

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