Build a Solar System
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a scale model of the Solar System and learn the real definition of "space." Learners use the online calculator to create an appropriate scale to use as a basis for thei

Toilet Paper Solar System
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a scale model of the solar system using a roll of toilet paper.

Personal Time Line
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to create a time line representing significant moments in their lives.

Solar System Bead Distance
Source Institutions
In this astronomy activity, learners create a model of the solar system using beads and string.

Cleaning Air with Balloons
Learners observe a simple balloon model of an electrostatic precipitator. These devices are used for pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution.

Atmosphere Composition Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

Let's Bag It
Learners observe and discuss a vacuum cleaner as a model of a baghouse, a device used in cleaning industrial air pollution.

Good News: We're on the Rise!
Learners build a simple aneroid barometer to learn about changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They observe their barometer and record data over a period of days.

Hot Stuff!: Testing for Carbon Dioxide from Our Own Breath
Learners blow into balloons and collect their breath--carbon dioxide gas (CO2). They then blow the CO2 from the balloon into a solution of acid-base indicator.

Solar System on a Stick
Source Institutions
Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

Acid Rain Effects
Learners conduct a simple experiment to model and explore the harmful effects of acid rain (vinegar) on living (green leaf and eggshell) and non-living (paper clip) objects.

Hot Stuff!: Testing Ice
In this demonstration, learners compare and contrast regular water ice to dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). Both samples are placed in a solution of acid-base indicator.

Avogadro's Bubbly Adventure
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.
