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

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will measure the rate at which water streams out of a leaky cup.

The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

Historically, sea floor mapping (bathymetry) was done by soundings.

This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.

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

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

Get all wrapped up in a lesson about skin!

In this activity, learners investigate the formation of craters. Learners will examine how the size, angle and speed of a meteorite's impact affects the properties of craters.

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 make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

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

In this activity, learners will make their own prism and use a glass of water to separate sunlight into different colors.

In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

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 use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

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