In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this activity, learners make three different "seed" types and determine which design flies the farthest.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.

In this activity, learners keep track of how much paper the group uses in a week. Build awareness of paper waste, while strengthening measurement and estimation skills.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this activity, learners explore how and why rainbows form by creating rainbows in a variety of ways using simple materials. Learners create rainbows indoors and outdoors.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.

In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

"What's in the Water" lets participants use tools to solve the mystery- what chemicals and compounds are in a sample of water?

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

In this activity, learners test exhaled breath for carbon dioxide and learn how to use an indicator as a simple way to measure pH.

In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Baby Dinosaurs Activity), learners will look for a relationship between skull size and body length among various dinosaurs.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.
