Source Institutions
This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about how the arrangement of carbon atoms determines carbon's different properties.

Stabilization Wedges Game
Source Institutions
This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.

Hot Stuff!: Investigation #1
Learners test two jars, one containing plain air and one containing carbon dioxide gas, to see their reactions to temperature changes.

Disappearing Statues
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

"Boyle-ing" Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

It's a Gas, Man
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

Space Elevator
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners imagine what the world might look like if we could build an elevator to space!

Bouncy Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how acids can dissolve eggshells leaving behind a membrane-covered bouncy egg.

Hot Stuff!: Investigation #4
Learners test two jars containing soil, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the Sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

Hot Stuff!: Investigation #2
Learners test two jars containing hot water, one covered with plastic and one open, for changes in temperature.

Hot Stuff!: Investigation #3
Learners test two jars of ice water, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.
