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.

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 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 activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

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 will engineer their own weather vane. This activity includes step-by-step instructions with pictures and a "What's Happening?" section explaining how the activity worked.

In this activity, learners will explore the water cycle by creating a small atmosphere.

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 create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.

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

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

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

April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?

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 thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.
