Through doing these hands-on activities, learners explore the environmental consequences associated with fossil fuel usage.

This creative lesson plan provides a visual way for learners to gain knowledge about the finite amount of fresh water on Earth and encourages the discussion of the various ways to conserve this resour

This demonstration activity models how Venus appears from Earth.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

In this activity, learners use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.

Learners model the ocean currents that carry hot water from the tropics to northern latitudes.

Learners see convection currents in action in this highly visual demonstration. Sealed bags of colored hot or cold water are immersed in tanks of water.

In this fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity, learners construct a model of our place in the Milky Way Galaxy and the distribution of stars, with a quarter and some birdseed.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.

In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.

In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda reacting to form carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.

In this activity, learners use a toaster to generate wind and compare the appliance's heat source to Jupiter's own hot interior. Learners discover that convection drives wind on Jupiter and on Earth.

This kinesthetic science demonstration introduces learners to four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

Learners investigate how the temperature of water affects its density.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.
