Pollution and Lung Health
Source Institutions
Learners will build a lung model to understand how their lungs and diaphragm work to make them breathe.
Do Cities Affect the Weather?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.
In the Toilet
Source Institutions
This activity explores the basic workings of a siphon, which is the core technology that makes toilets work.
Finding the Right Crater
Source Institutions
This quick demonstration (on page 11 of PDF) allows learners to understand why scientists think water ice could remain frozen in always-dark craters at the poles of the Moon.
Earth's Water: A Drop in Your Cup
Source Institutions
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
Transit Tracks
Source Institutions
In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.
For Your Eyes Only
Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.
Sea Level: On The Rise
Source Institutions
Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.
Cleaning Air with Balloons

Let's Bag It
Learners observe and discuss a vacuum cleaner as a model of a baghouse, a device used in cleaning industrial air pollution.
Exploration Vehicles
Source Institutions
Using recycled materials, learners will design a transportation vehicle to carry an egg in an egg toss (a rudimentary model of a shock absorbent transport vessel).
Recycling Rules: Understanding Recycling and a MRF
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate the separation techniques that materials recovery facilities (MRFs) use and then design their own series of recycling techniques.
