In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

In this activity, learners discover how to determine the distance to a lightning strike or nearby thunderstorm.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

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 make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.

This activity is a sensory experience that recreates the sounds of a pond at night.

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.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate the effect of the weight of air over our heads.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty soda cans to illustrate Bernoulli's principle.

In this interactive game, learners listen to the songs of four different thrushes and then try to match each bird with its song.

In this weather activity/demonstration, learners watch as a ping pong ball is suspended in a stream of air supplied by a hair dryer.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this activity, learners will use simple materials to explore centripetal force and variables by swinging a cup of water without having the water spill out.

In this activity/demonstration, learners observe what happens when two ping pong balls are suspended in the air by a hair dryer. Use this activity to demonstrate how rain drops grow by coalescence.

In this activity, learners will investigate the part of soil. Explore how clay, silt, and sand make up the dirt in your background. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.

In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea
