Ice on Mars
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use sand and ice cubes to create a model of permafrost and the effects of the ice melting through the surface.
Finding the Carbon in Sugar
Source Institutions
In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.
Changing Shadows
Source Institutions
In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.
Battling for Oxygen
Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.
Challenge: Microgravity
Source Institutions
In this activity about the circulatory system and space travel (on page 38 of the PDF), learners use water balloons to simulate the effects of gravity and microgravity on fluid distribution in the bod
Create a Mangrove Tree
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners will explore the characteristics, functions and uniqueness of the mangrove tree.
Show Your Colors!
Source Institutions
In this family or group activity, learners conduct a chromatography experiment to reveal the colors that leaves "hide" under their green pigments.
I Can't Take the Pressure!
Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.
What's Hiding in the Air?: Rubber Band Air Test
Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.
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.
Reflective Solar Cooker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use the Sun's energy to cook marshmallows. Learners construct the solar oven out of simple everyday materials.
Solar Cooker
Source Institutions
Learners build a simple solar oven from a shoebox, black construction paper, and aluminum foil. Over the course of a few hours, the oven heats up water enough to brew tea.
Sky Floater Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.
