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

It's difficult to see convection currents in any liquid that's undergoing a temperature change, but in this Exploratorium Science Snack, you can see the currents with the help of food coloring.

This Exploratorium activity can be used in many contexts because geysers are great opportunities for learning about heat and temperature changes as well as geological/space science phenomena.

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

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.
