Handwashing Laboratory Activities: Fingerprint Technique
Source Institutions
In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners compare bacteria growth on two petri dishes containing nutrient agar: one that has been touched by a finger washed only with water and one that has been tou

How can Clouds Help Keep the Air Warmer?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how air warms when it condenses water vapor or makes clouds.

Cave in a Cup
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity), learners will model how caves are formed by placing one piece of chalk in a cup of vinegar and another piece in a cup of water, then
