In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

In this activity, learners use open inquiry to learn about the process of science as well as gain experience regarding the Law of Conservation of Mass, dissolution, and density.

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

Some bugs can walk on the surface of a lake, stream, river, pond or ocean.

In this quick activity about pollutants and groundwater (page 2 of PDF under Water Clean-up Activity), learners build a model well with a toilet paper tube.

In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.

In this activity, learners create models of erosion and floods and learn to recognize both in their environment.

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

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

In this activity, learners investigate density as they discover how liquids separate to form density layers. Learners discover what happens when they add syrup, cooking oil, and water to a jar.

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

In this laboratory activity, learners use a simple procedure to bait oomycetes from water and/ or soil and then examine these fungus-like organisms with the microscope to see how they look.

April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

In this activity, learners create a tornado in a bottle to observe a spiraling, funnel-shaped vortex. A simple connector device allows water to drain from a 2-liter bottle into a second bottle.

In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

In this activity, learners use gumdrops and toothpicks to model the composition and molecular structure of three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4).

This is part 2 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity and must be done after part 1: Sedimentary Rocks. In this activity, learners explore how metamorphic rocks form.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

Learners explore the variables that affect the properties of ice and the places where different types of ice are found.
