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

In this activity, learners build a simple pinhole viewer. They use this apparatus to project images from a variety of light sources, including a candle, the Sun, and the Moon.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

In this activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

In this activity, learners confront their perceptions of gravity in the solar system.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

In this indoor or outdoor water activity, learners pour water from small cups to large cups and containers. In doing so, they discover water takes the shape of its container.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.
