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

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 explore clouds and how they form.

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.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore how the shapes, sizes, and distances of land masses appear differently on two different models of Earth: an icosahedron and a flat map.

Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.

In this activity, learners gain knowledge about how carbon moves through all four of the Earth’s major spheres (biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere), and understand how humans influenc

In this activity, learners model erosion using a clear shoebox and sand or soil.

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

Build a fruit fly trap out of a 2-liter plastic bottle and some rotten fruit! Fruit flies are easy to catch in warm weather. Once you catch some, you will be able to see their life cycle up-close.

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.

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.
