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

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.

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

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 activity, learners make a barometer, an instrument to measure change in air pressure.

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.

In this activity, learners will listen to as many radio stations as possible to discover that AM radio signals can travel many hundreds of miles at night.

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

In this activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.
