In this activity, learners use geometry to predict the shape of carbon. Learners twist and attach chenille stem pieces that represent bonds between different carbon atoms.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, learners examine the geological (ancient) carbon cycle.

In this chemistry activity, learners use common chemicals to produce carbon dioxide and observe its properties. This resource includes brief questions for learners to answer after the experiment.

This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about composites, materials made of 2 or more different components.

Visitors observe a bottle with a balloon attached around the mouth. The bottle contains a solution of yeast, sugar, and water.

In this activity, learners construct and launch rockets using simple materials and their understanding of chemical reactions.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off), learners will use the ever-popular soda geyser experiment to test the reactivity of the various sugar candies or mints.

Visitors mix water and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in a large flask. They then add citric acid to the mixture and stopper the flask. The resulting reaction creates carbon dioxide gas.

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.
