In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.

In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.

In this activity, learners construct a simple electrolysis device. With this device, learners can decompose water into its elemental components: hydrogen and oxygen gas.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this activity, learners build a simple electrolysis device. Then learners use an indicating solution to visualize hydrogen and oxygen molecules in water.

In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.

Learners observe a sealed test tube containing a small amount of solid stearic acid.

In this two-part lesson, learners discover how large bodies of water can serve as a heat source or sink at different times and how proximity to water moderates climate along the coast.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this activity, learners will experiment with salt and ice in order to turn a bag of ingredients into ice cream.

In this activity, learners burn a peanut, which produces a flame that can be used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut.

In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.

Learners conduct an experiment to determine the rate at which two materials, sand and water, heat up and cool down.

In this experiment, learners work in pairs to create two gloves -- one that contains a layer of shortening (blubber) inside, and one that doesn't.

In this laboratory activity, learners design an experiment to evaluate how environmental factors influence the growth of molds.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.
