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

Design and Build a Barometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a barometer, an instrument to measure change in air pressure.

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.

Twirling in the Breeze
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

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.

Paper Cup Anemometer
Source Institutions
In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

Making Sense of Sensors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

Measuring the Wind
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

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.

Building Bingo
Source Institutions
In this on site "field trip" activity (located on pages 6-9 of PDF), learners get hands-on experience identifying building materials by playing "Building Bingo".
