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

Learners cover a bottle with a balloon. When they immerse the bottle in warm water, the balloon inflates. When they immerse the bottle in a bowl of ice, the balloon deflates.

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

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.

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.

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

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

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.

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

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

In this activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.

In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.

Learners color and cut out a spiral-shaped snake. When they hang their snake over a radiator, the snake spins.
