In this hands-on botany activity, learners sprout vegetables in film canisters.

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

In this activity, learners explore why the sky is blue. Learners model the scattering of light by the atmosphere, which creates the blue sky and red sunset, using a flashlight and clear glue sticks.

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

This is a quick activity that shows how large amounts of rock and sediment are added to the edge of continents during subduction.

This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

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

In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

In this geology activity learners build a "squeeze box," which allows them to compress layers of sediment. This is a great way to investigate folding and faulting in the Earth.

In this activity, learners try to figure out who has their matching rock type by reading a description of their rock (no talking!).

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.

In this activity, learners create a tornado in a bottle to observe a spiraling, funnel-shaped vortex. A simple connector device allows water to drain from a 2-liter bottle into a second bottle.

In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of magnetic fields by inserting a small, strong magnet into a sphere.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.
