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 activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.
