In this activity, learners discover how the extent of various wind speeds changes in each of the four quadrants around a hurricane.

In this oceanography and data collection activity, learners cast real time sea state conditions using buoys from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center.

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 construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

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

In this activity related to climate change and data analysis, learners examine temperature and precipitation data to determine if climate variations are due to El Niño.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

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