Share Your Planet
Source Institutions
In this cooperative game, learners devise strategies about sharing a small space with each other.
Drain Game
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 36-39), learners make a model of a watershed out of paper, then run water down the mountain to simulate how rainfall and pollution affect watersheds.
A Funny Taste
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.
Sizing Up Hail
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will estimate the sizes of balls to learn how to estimate the size of hail. Learners will compare their estimates to the estimates of their peers and the real measurements.
How Can Gravity Make Something Go Up?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use cheap, thin plastic garbage bags to quickly build a solar hot air balloon. In doing so, learners will explore why hot air rises.
A Recipe for Air
Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.
An Apple as Planet Earth
Source Institutions
In this environmental education demonstration (page 6 of the PDF), learners will see a tangible representation of the scarcity of soil resources on earth.
Seismic Slinky!
Source Institutions
Did you know that a Slinky makes a handy model of earthquake waves?
No Pressure
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe what would happen to their bodies if they went to outer space without a space suit.
Familiar Fossils
In this activity, learners explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.
Submarine: Soda Cup Lander
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2), learners create a submarine using a plastic cup. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and density.
Earth's Water: A Drop in Your Cup
Source Institutions
This creative lesson plan provides a visual way for learners to gain knowledge about the finite amount of fresh water on Earth and encourages the discussion of the various ways to conserve this resour
Pressing Pressure

Source Institutions
In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat
Getting Windy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create and understand surface currents. Learners create example surface currents and discover how landmasses affect the current.
Three Little Pigs Construction Company
Source Institutions
In this activity about problem-solving, learners build a house for the Three Little Pigs using twenty straws and two index cards.
Ice Tower Excavation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will pretend to be archaeologist using this chilling experience.
