Forward Thinking
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own weather forecast map.

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

Space Weather Action Center
Source Institutions
In this interdisciplinary activity, learners create a Space Weather Action Center (SWAC) to monitor solar storms and develop real SWAC news reports.

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.

AM in the PM
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will listen to as many radio stations as possible to discover that AM radio signals can travel many hundreds of miles at night.

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".
