In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

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

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 interactive and informative group activity, learners use packages of M&M's to illustrate the difference between weather and climate.

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

In this activity, learners construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.

In this two-part lesson, learners discover how large bodies of water can serve as a heat source or sink at different times and how proximity to water moderates climate along the coast.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this interdisciplinary activity, learners create a Space Weather Action Center (SWAC) to monitor solar storms and develop real SWAC news reports.

In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

“Exploring Earth: Investigating Clouds” is a hands-on activity in which visitors create a cloud in a bottle and explore it with laser light.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

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.

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 create their own weather forecast map.
