In this activity, learners investigate the effect of heat on a reaction.

In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

Learners observe and conduct experiments demonstrating the different properties of hot and cold materials.

In this activity (on pages 36-39), learners make a model of a watershed out of paper, then run water down the mountain to simulate how rainfall and pollution affect watersheds.

In this activity, learners build models of atoms and molecules, then consider their role in different phases of matter, density, and mixtures and solutions.

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

In this experiment, learners try different liquids to see which ones clean pennies best. Liquids to try include water, lemon juice, cola, vinegar, and dishwashing detergent.

In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.

In this activity related to flight, learners build a tiny stream channel to investigate how fluids (air and water) change speed as they flow between and around objects.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

Learners discover that their breath contains carbon dioxide, one of the pollutants found in car exhaust.

Learners use a candle to investigate the products of combustion. When a glass rod is held over a lit candle, the candle flame deposits carbon on the rod.

This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.

In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.

In this activity, learners will explore light and rainbows with this easy setup! Learners will only need a cup of water, some paper and a flashlight.

Build a hydrometer (measures the density of a liquid) using a pipet or eyedropper.

In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

In this math lesson, learners design an experiment to model a leaky faucet and determine the amount of water wasted due to the leak.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.
