Melts in Your Bag, Not in Your Hand
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

Fruit Fly Trap
Source Institutions
Build a fruit fly trap out of a 2-liter plastic bottle and some rotten fruit! Fruit flies are easy to catch in warm weather. Once you catch some, you will be able to see their life cycle up-close.

Heavy Air
