Learners build a wind turbine and test it to see how much energy is created.

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

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate the effect of the weight of air over our heads.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

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

In this activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate visually and physically that air has weight. Learners balance two equally-inflated balloons hanging from string on a yard stick.

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

In this activity, learners design and build their own parachute using household materials with the goal of landing their passenger safely on a target.

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