Learners build a solar oven from a cardboard pizza box, aluminum foil and plastic. Learners can use their oven to cook S'mores or other food in the sun.

In this activity, learners discover that the Moon, like Earth, is made up of layers of different materials. Learners work in teams to make models of the interiors of the Moon and Earth.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this activity, learners investigate convection by using food coloring and water of different temperatures.

Learners build a simple solar oven from a shoebox, black construction paper, and aluminum foil. Over the course of a few hours, the oven heats up water enough to brew tea.

In this activity, learners review and discuss weathering, erosion and mass wasting, to gain a stronger understanding of how Hickory Run’s Boulder Field was formed after the Laurentide Continental Glac

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity, learners investigate carbon sequestration by creating a carbonated beverage out of apple juice and dry ice.
