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.

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

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 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.

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

In this lab activity, learners explore how to initiate a density current. Learners measure six flasks with different concentrations of salt and water (colored blue).

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.
