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

Rocking Changes
Source Institutions
In this earth science activity, learners conduct a series of short experiments to explore how rocks change.

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.

How Boulders Are Born
Source Institutions
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

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.

Design and Build a Wind Vane
Source Institutions
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.

Fog Chamber
Source Institutions
In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.

Using Different Models of Earth
Source Institutions
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.

Carbon Cycle Poster
Source Institutions
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

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

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

Water Cycle in a Bag
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

Lift Off!
Source Institutions
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.
