Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.
Ocean Acidification in a Cup
Source Institutions
Ocean acidification is a problem that humans will have to deal with as we release more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Measure the Pressure: The "Wet" Barometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.
Do Cities Affect the Weather?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.
Crystal Gardens
Source Institutions
In this activity, which requires adult supervision, learners get to explore the awesome power of chemistry.
Make a Terrarium
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.
Test Density with a Supersaturated Solution
Source Institutions
Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.
If Hot Air Rises, Why is it Cold in the Mountains?
Source Institutions
This demonstration/activity helps learners understand why higher elevations are not always warm simply because "hot air rises." Learners use a tire pump to increase the pressure and temperature inside
Chocolate (Sea Floor) Lava
Source Institutions
In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.
Regolith Formation
Source Institutions
In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.
Measure the Pressure II: The "Dry" Barometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.
Air-filled (Pneumatic) Bone Experiments
Source Institutions
Just like birds, some dinosaurs had air-filled (pneumatic) bones, which made the dinosaurs' skeletons lighter.
Dinosaur Bone Experiments
Source Institutions
This activity features two connected hands-on activities about dinosaur bones.
