In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

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

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

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 use a toaster to generate wind and compare the appliance's heat source to Jupiter's own hot interior. Learners discover that convection drives wind on Jupiter and on Earth.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

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

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

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 discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

Learners color and cut out a spiral-shaped snake. When they hang their snake over a radiator, the snake spins.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.
