In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

In this activity (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.

In this hands-on activity, learners simulate the crashing and smashing of a meteor impact using household cooking supplies.

In this very hands-on lesson, learners will investigate dendrochronology (the study of tree rings to answer ecological questions about the recent past) and come up with conclusions as to what possible

In this archaeology meets art activity, learners make a mosaic and consider the ways in which art communicates.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this "game," learners explore and relate the evolution of stars to a Navajo creation story. The story is written on a series of cards, which are laid on a table as the story is told.

Did you know that the water we use today is the same water found on Earth millions of years ago? The Earth constantly uses and recycles water in a process called the water cycle.

In this activity, learners test exhaled breath for carbon dioxide and learn how to use an indicator as a simple way to measure pH.

In this activity, learners consider how oil spills behave in the ocean and what impact they have on marine wildlife.

This is part 3 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. Before starting this section, learners must have completed part 1: sedimentary rock and part 2: metamorphic rocks.

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with a bucket, stretchy fabric, marbles, and weights to discover some basics about gravity.

In this activity, learners conduct a simple experiment to see how electrically charged things like plastic attract electrically neutral things like water.

In this design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity describes techniques scientists use to find planets orbiting other stars.

This activity generates learner excitement about light through the creation of a room-sized rainbow.

In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.

In this activity, learners are challenged to lift a floating ice cube out of a glass of water using just one end of a piece of string.
