In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

In this activity, learners investigate how wind can create surface currents and how waves move. Learners also discover how wind can affect oil spills.

In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

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

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

In this activity, learners create and understand surface currents. Learners create example surface currents and discover how landmasses affect the current.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

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

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

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

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation about the different causes of glacial melt.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting), learners will construct an air cannon by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket and stretching a garbage bag over the other end

In this activity, learners investigate wind by comparing the force of wind in different locations. Learners build wind-o-meters out of wooden sticks and strips of paper.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this activity, learners create and experiment with wind tubes. These tubes are a playful and inventive way to explore the effect that moving air has on objects.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Sailboat Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization.
