Learners use shop tools and various materials to construct a magnetic spinner and a compass.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between electric charges and magnetic fields.

In this activity, learners build and test a compass. Learners work in pairs and pretend they are stuck in the wilderness at night.

Learners use their opponent's clues and a compass rose to find the hidden treasure on a map. Learners use problem solving and coordinate grid skills as they hunt for treasure.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a mapping technique to become oriented to the major features of an outdoor site.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners create a magnetic field that's stronger than the Earth's magnetic field.

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

In this activity, teams of learners study magnetic fields at four separate stations: examining magnetic fields generated by everyday items, mapping out a magnetic field using a compass, creating model

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.
