Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners work in pairs to create two gloves -- one that contains a layer of shortening (blubber) inside, and one that doesn't.
Rooftop Gardens
How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.
Weather and Climate: What's the Difference?
Source Institutions
This lesson plan enables learners to explore the differences between weather and climate.
Carbon Dioxide Removal
Source Institutions
In this experiment using sprigs of Elodea, learners will observe a natural process that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from Earth's atmosphere.
Foam Tower
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides), learners will whip up some suds with a cup of water and a tablespoon of dish soap until the bubbles are stiff enough to star
Gravestone Weathering
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on pages 9-14 of PDF), learners visit a cemetery to examine the distinguishing characteristics of rock weathering.
Exploring the Solar System: Asteroid Mining
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.
Learning the Land
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.
Pocket Solar System: Make a Scale Model
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.
Weather Stations: Phase Change
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.
Toasty Wind
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners use a toaster to investigate the source for the Earth's wind. Learners hold a pinwheel above a toaster to discover that rising heat causes wind.
Under Pressure
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.
Make a Terrarium
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.
Transit Tracks
Source Institutions
In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.
Effects of Solar Radiation on Land and Sea
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.
Disappearing Statues
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.
Map Your World
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners map their world by drawing a plan of their bedroom.
The Shadow Knows II
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.
Using Solar Energy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.
Mapping Greenhouse Gas Emissions Where You Live
Source Institutions
In this lesson plan, learners examine some of the of greenhouse gas emissions sources in their community.
