In this activity, learners will estimate the sizes of balls to learn how to estimate the size of hail. Learners will compare their estimates to the estimates of their peers and the real measurements.

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

Learners build a simple aneroid barometer to learn about changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They observe their barometer and record data over a period of days.

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

In this group activity, learners use some common objects and work together to simulate the Coriolis effect. During the challenge, learners make predictions and test different scenarios.

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

In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

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 on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

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 interactive and informative group activity, learners use packages of M&M's to illustrate the difference between weather and climate.

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

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

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

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

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