Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

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.

In this activity, learners simulate the behavior of the atmosphere.

In this geography investigation, learners use a nighttime satellite image to observe areas of light across the United States and to identify patterns and spatial distributions of human settlements.

In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes) is a full inquiry investigation into aerial imagery.

In this activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.

In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

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 quick activity about pollutants and groundwater (page 2 of PDF under Water Clean-up Activity), learners build a model well with a toilet paper tube.

In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.

In this activity, learners make a flip book that shows the progression of two solar events on reversible sides of the flip book.
