In this activity, learners make pykrete by freezing a mixture of water and a material like cotton wool, grass, hair, shredded paper, wood chips, or sawdust.

This is an activity about waves. Using marbles, paper clips and rubber bands, learners explore how waves behave.

In this activity, learners turn empty 2-liter bottles into a see-through compost container.

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

In this activity, learners explore how hot and cold water move. Learners observe that temperature and density affect how liquids rise and fall.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this activity, learners work in groups to build simple solar stills filled with salt water. After the stills are complete, learners observe what happens when they place the stills in the sun.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

Build a fruit fly trap out of a 2-liter plastic bottle and some rotten fruit! Fruit flies are easy to catch in warm weather. Once you catch some, you will be able to see their life cycle up-close.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.

This is a fun activity about the power of the Sun and the importance of using sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin from its rays.

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.

In this activity (located at the bottom of the page), learners investigate soil and explore the creatures that live in it.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners set up a simple experiment to find out how sunscreen counteracts the effects of the sun.
