This activity focuses on interactions within Earth systems and the effects of human activities. In this activity learners build a biomass pyramid.

This is a quick activity that shows how large amounts of rock and sediment are added to the edge of continents during subduction.

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish), learners will build a simple Cartesian Diver in an empty 2-liter bottle.
