In this activity, learners graph 48 hourly air temperatures from a local weather observation site and observe the diurnal temperature variations.

In this multi-station lab, learners conduct a series of experiments to explore the processes and effects of weathering and erosion.

This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.

In this activity (page 13 of the PDF), learners discover how weathering and erosion change the Earth’s surface.

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

In this activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.

In this weather activity/demonstration, learners watch as a ping pong ball is suspended in a stream of air supplied by a hair dryer.

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

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting) is a full inquiry investigation into meteorology and forecasting.

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

In this activity, learners make a barometer, an instrument to measure change in air pressure.

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 (located on pages 9-14 of PDF), learners visit a cemetery to examine the distinguishing characteristics of rock weathering.

In this activity, learners will model the mechanical weathering and erosion of rocks in a stream or river.

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 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 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.
