Children create a wind streamer out of common materials and use it to determine the wind's direction.

Children get to know each other through an icebreaker activity that introduces the importance of water on Earth.

This eClip video is part of NASA's Our World series and introduces students to the basics of cloud formation.

This 3-minute eClip video from Nasa's Our World series introduces students to the unique properties of water.

A computer simulator that allows students to adjust the air temperature and dew point to see what type of precipitation would fall to the ground.

In this lesson, students will learn about the water cycle and how energy from the sun and the force of gravity drive this cycle.

This activity was developed to give participants an understanding of Earth's water cycle by completing a WebQuest and building a model of the water cycle.

In this hands-on inquiry-based activity, students face an engineering challenge based on real-world applications. They are tasked with developing a tool they can use to measure the amount of rain that falls each day. This is more of a mini unit than a stand alone activity.

Students learn about the water cycle and hydrology through a series of three lessons, two coloring book pages, and an e-Book. The themes covered in this resource tie into Climate Science and fundamental climate principles, as well as, engages students in scientific methods.

Learning activities help students explore and describe soil, consider what is found in soil such as rocks, roots, critters, and organic material, and explain the importance of soil to plants and animals.
