Use Clues to Solve an Ice Mystery
Source Institutions
Learners explore the variables that affect the properties of ice and the places where different types of ice are found.
Moving On Up: Capillary Action II
Source Institutions
Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.
Fireworks in a Glass
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use water, oil, and food coloring to observe a chemical reaction that creates a shower of colors inside of a glass.
Stuck on You: Adhesion
Source Institutions
Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.
Crumple a Watershed
Source Institutions
Learners gain an intuitive knowledge of the physical aspects of watersheds by creating their own watershed models.
Global Climate Change and Sea Level Rise
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.
Exploring the Universe: Ice Orbs
Source Institutions
“Exploring the Solar System: Ice Orbs” is a hands-on activity in which visitors investigate a frozen orb, trying to learn about objects hidden inside.
Ocean Currents
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.
Do Plants Need Sunlight?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.
Forces at the Nanoscale: Nano Properties of Everyday Plants
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.
Cohesion Coin
Source Institutions
In this activity about the property of water (page 6 of the PDF), learners use a coin to demonstrate cohesion between water molecules, exploring the molecular forces that allow water molecules to "
