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

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

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 activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 107: My Shrinking Shoes, learners observe how plants change as they grow.

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 make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.

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 activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

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

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 activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.
