Learners use red cabbage juice and pH indicator paper to test the acidity and basicity of household materials. The activity links this concept of acids and bases to acid rain and other pollutants.

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.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In this group activity, learners will mark important developments of life on Earth on a timeline (each foot in length representing 200 million years).

In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

Learners see convection currents in action in this highly visual demonstration. Sealed bags of colored hot or cold water are immersed in tanks of water.

In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

Learners test two jars containing hot water, one covered with plastic and one open, for changes in temperature.

In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda reacting to form carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.

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.

Learners test two jars of ice water, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

Learners test two jars, one containing plain air and one containing carbon dioxide gas, to see their reactions to temperature changes.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

Learners cover a bottle with a balloon. When they immerse the bottle in warm water, the balloon inflates. When they immerse the bottle in a bowl of ice, the balloon deflates.

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.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs), learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

In this activity, learners find Xi'an, the archaeological area in China where the Terra Cotta Army was discovered, on a map or globe and look more closely at the relationship of the warrior site to ot

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.
