This is an activity about Newton's First Law of Motion - a body in motion tends to stay in motion, or a body at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

Learners model the ocean currents that carry hot water from the tropics to northern latitudes.

In this chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners corrode a penny in a cup with vinegar, salt water, and a source of iron (nails, paper clips, or twist ties).

Learners mix liquid water with solid cornstarch. They investigate the slime produced, which has properties of both a solid and a liquid.

This three-part activity consists of an activity that groups of learners develop themselves, a given procedure, and an optional demonstration.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.

In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.

Learners design their own experiment to determine which M&M color dissolves the fastest in water.

Learners use a commercially available toy to experiment with density. They fill a chamber in the toy submarine with baking powder and release it into a tank of water.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into organisms and the health of their ecosystems.

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

In this physics activity, learners will explore the concept of buoyancy, especially as it relates to density.

In this activity about states of matter, learners get to witness firsthand the awesome power of air pressure. They watch as an ordinary soda can is crushed by invisible forces.

In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between cooling water vapor and condensation. Learners investigate condensation forming on the outside of a cold cup.

This is an activity about our sense of smell and how it compares to sharks' super noses. Learners will create varying solutions of water and perfume.

Learners will see that changing the shape of an object, like a clay ball, that is more dense than water, can affect whether the object will sink or float.

In this activity (on pages 4-5), learners make fake snow by adding water to the super-absorbant chemical from diapers, sodium polyacrylate.

In this activity (12th on the page), learners investigate their ability to discriminate (see) different colors.

In this activity, learners explore temperature changes from chemical reactions by mixing urea with water in one flask and mixing calcium chloride with water in another flask.
