Oil and Soap
Source Institutions
Learners investigate the properties of the liquids in two bottles. One contains layers of oil and water, and one contains oil, water, and soap.

DIY Sunprints
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

Do Plants Need Light?
Source Institutions
In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

Earthquake Science: Soil Liquefaction
Source Institutions
This activity demonstrates liquefaction, the process by which some soils lose their solidity during an earthquake.

Shark Sizes
Source Institutions
In this graphing exercise (page 2 of the pdf), learners compare their own height to the length of various sharks.

Tidepool in the Classroom
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 4 of the pdf), learners build a model of a tide pool, using chicken wire, paper mache, and other craft materials.

Fill 'er Up!
Source Institutions

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.

Moving On Up: Capillary Action II
Source Institutions
Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.

Invent a Plant
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

Heat Capacity: Can't Take the Heat?
Source Institutions
Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

DIY Science: Water Cycle in a Bag!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.

Habitat Web
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the web of connections among living and non-living things.

Discovery Time: Turtles
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore turtle basic adaptations and biology. Turtle external anatomy is explored by "building" a turtle with a nature collage.
Sock Garden
Source Institutions
In this activity (located in the middle of the page), learners start a garden by planting their socks!

Exploring Structures: Butterfly
Source Institutions
