Crawdad Grab
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, freshwater activity, learners explore the behavior and food preferences of crawdads (or crabs) by "fishing" for them with various baits.

Air Pressure
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.
Soil Secrets
Source Institutions
In this activity (located at the bottom of the page), learners investigate soil and explore the creatures that live in it.

Why is the Sky Blue?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

A Cubic Foot Per Second
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

How it is Currently Done
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners observe how wind creates ocean currents.

Stream Table
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use aluminum trays and wooden blocks to form stream tables to investigate river formations in two different landscape scenarios.

Earth Atmosphere Composition
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

Milli's Super Sorting Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

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

Find the Best Way to Clean Oil off Bird Feathers
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners examine the way oil affects bird feathers and test different cleanup methods to find out which works best.

Mass of the Earth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

Erosion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model erosion using a clear shoebox and sand or soil.
River Catcher
Source Institutions
In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

Plankton Feeding
Source Institutions
This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

Counting With Quadrants
Source Institutions
Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

Iodine Investigators!
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Chemistry—It’s Elemental), learners use iodine to identify foods that contain starch.

Sea Level: On The Rise
Source Institutions
Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

Shipping for Survival
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

Making Sense of Sensors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.
