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 create a biosphere in a baggie.

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.

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

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

This Exploratorium activity can be used in many contexts because geysers are great opportunities for learning about heat and temperature changes as well as geological/space science phenomena.

In this chemistry activity, learners witness an exothermic reaction, while making their very own, completely usable sidewalk chalk. This is also an excellent activity for exploring color mixing.

Learners build a simple solar oven from a shoebox, black construction paper, and aluminum foil. Over the course of a few hours, the oven heats up water enough to brew tea.

In two separate bags, learners mix water with Epsom salts and detergent.
