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

In this two-part activity, learners use everyday materials to visualize one mole of gas or 22.4 liters of gas. The first activity involves sublimating dry ice in large garbage bag.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find the volume of one mole of gas. Learners capture sublimated gas from dry ice in a ziploc bag and use water displacement to measure its volume.

In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.

In this activity, learners explore sublimation by conducting experiments with dry ice.

In this activity, learners use a pneumatic trough (see related activity) to generate and collect pure oxygen.

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

In this activity, learners test what happens when they put baking power on different frozen liquids.

In this chemistry activity, learners use common chemicals and metals to examine reactions that produce gaseous substances.

In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

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.

In this activity, learners will plot the distribution of various oozes using information from sediment maps.

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.

Heat makes some materials expand, and it makes others shrink.

Learners test two jars containing hot water, one covered with plastic and one open, for changes in temperature.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

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.

Learners mix vinegar and baking soda to produce a gas. With the addition of a bit of liquid soap, the gas becomes trapped in measurable bubbles.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.
