In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

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

Learners construct a bird feeder from re-used materials. After hanging their feeder, they keep a journal about what birds visit the feeder.

Learners assemble a figure from a nylon stocking or sock stuffed with soil and seeds. The ends of the nylons inside the jar absorb water, which feeds the grass seeds.

In this activity, learners will build rainwater collectors to practice meteorology in their own backyard. Collect and analyze data to determine how much rainfall you get in a set period of time.

In this activity, a group of learners work collaboratively to design and construct a paper model showing the evolution of an environment through multiple stages, from prehistory through the modern cit

In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

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 activity, learners build an instrument for catching and observing flies. Learners act as entomologists, attract flies into a jar using a slice of apple, and then observe the flies' behavior.

Learners use a transparent plastic glove as a container to grow seeds. A different kind of seed can be planted in each finger.

In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners examine the effects that light and air have on green plants.
