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 weather activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate the changes in atmospheric pressure by constructing their own barometer.

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 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 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 weather activity which requires adult supervision, learners will get a chance to make a cloud right here 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 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 investigate convection by using food coloring and water of different temperatures.

In this activity, learners working in pairs saturate a cotton ball using water drops from an eyedropper to demonstrate the high water capacity of clouds.

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

From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

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 create a CloudSpotter wheel and record the different types of clouds they observe twice daily over several days.

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