In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.

In this activity, learners discover how the extent of various wind speeds changes in each of the four quadrants around a hurricane.

In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

In this yummy biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners participate in a demonstration of natural selection.

Did you know that a Slinky makes a handy model of earthquake waves?

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.

In this online activity, learners find out whether they are smart enough to survive as a plant.

In this activity, learners will explore the ways natural materials can produce sounds. Appropriate for any age, learners can make individual music or create a symphony with others.

In this activity, learners will discover what it takes to be a frog. By dressing up like one, learners can visualize how each part of the frog plays an important role in surviving its habitat.

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.

In this activity, learners will experiment with changing flower colors. Learners will investigate the effects of acids and bases on flower colors.

In this online interactive, learners use fossils to infer temperatures 55 million years ago, at the sites where the fossils were found.

In this activity, learners will dissect a pumpkin or winter squash to learn the parts of the plant. This activity gets your learner hands on with every part of the plant and will be messy.

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

This activity demonstrates liquefaction, the process by which some soils lose their solidity during an earthquake.

In this demonstration, learners explore a variation of a Foucault pendulum, but upside down.

In this interactive activity, learners analyze seashells to explore phylogeny and evolution. Learners identify similar and dissimilar seashells to create a phylogenetic tree.

In this activity, learners observe mixtures of sand samples glued to note cards, and consider how sand can differ in size, shape, and color, and where it comes from.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.
