"What's in the Water" lets participants use tools to solve the mystery- what chemicals and compounds are in a sample of water?

In this activity, learners use sieves with different-sized holes to sort balls by size.

In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

In this activity, learners use a pneumatic trough (see related activity) to generate and collect pure oxygen.

In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners make carbonated, vanilla ice cream using dry ice and denatured ethanol, which are both inexpensive and accessible.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF, learners compare water with artificial urine to see how urinalysis works. Learners use urinalysis test strips to test for glucose and protein in the fake urine.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

This interactive demonstration reintroduces learners to three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas), and introduces them to a fourth state of matter, plasma.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Garbology Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization using recycled materials.

In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the manufacturing of canoes over time, including the development of new, durable, and lighter materials.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.
