A Funny Taste
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

How Much Water is in that Cloud?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners working in pairs saturate a cotton ball using water drops from an eyedropper to demonstrate the high water capacity of clouds.

Do Cities Affect the Weather?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

Weather Stations: Phase Change
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.

Go with the Flow
Source Institutions
Learners draw comic-style pictures to show the water cycle. From a starting picture, one learner draws what happens to the water in the next panel, then passes the comic strip to another learner.

Wonderful Weather
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

Water Cycle in a Bag
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the water cycle by creating a small atmosphere.

Updrafts in Action
Source Institutions
In this weather activity/demonstration, learners watch as a ping pong ball is suspended in a stream of air supplied by a hair dryer.
The Return of El Nino
Source Institutions
In this activity related to climate change and data analysis, learners examine temperature and precipitation data to determine if climate variations are due to El Niño.

Atmospheric Collisions
Source Institutions
In this activity/demonstration, learners observe what happens when two ping pong balls are suspended in the air by a hair dryer. Use this activity to demonstrate how rain drops grow by coalescence.

The Rain Man
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.

Exploring Earth: Paper Mountains
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore in what ways the shape of the land and the pull of gravity influence how water moves over Earth.

DIY Science: Water Cycle in a Bag!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.

Make Your Own Weather Station
Source Institutions
This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.
