This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

In this physics activity (page 8-9 of the PDF), learners will explore wind energy. They will build their own windmill and see how energy from wind can be converted into a useable form.

In this activity, learners design and build their own parachute using household materials with the goal of landing their passenger safely on a target.

In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.

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.

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

The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.

Build a pinwheel that works without wind! This activity contains steps on how to build a parachuting pinwheel out of paper, a film canister, and some brads.

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 build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.
