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 activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

In this activity, learners will explore the water cycle by creating a small atmosphere.

In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

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

In this weather activity which requires adult supervision, learners will get a chance to make a cloud right here on Earth!

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

In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to produce weathered "antiqued" paper with burned edges. Learners first soak white paper in coffee and then apply a charring solution of ammonium chloride.

In this activity, learners investigate convection by using food coloring and water of different temperatures.

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 weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.

“Exploring Earth: Investigating Clouds” is a hands-on activity in which visitors create a cloud in a bottle and explore it with laser light.

In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.

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 activity related to climate change and data analysis, learners examine temperature and precipitation data to determine if climate variations are due to El Niño.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

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