In this activity, learners work in teams to construct human lung models from small plastic beverage bottles and balloons.

In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda reacting to form carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.

Make impact craters with marbles (or rocks or washers) in a container of flour. Find out what you can learn about your "comets" by the craters they make.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this demonstration, learners compare and contrast regular water ice to dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). Both samples are placed in a solution of acid-base indicator.

In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.

In this activity, learners make an astrolabe, a device used for measuring altitude, including the height of objects in the sky.

In this three-part activity, learners play a game and conduct two simple experiments to explore water and surface tension. Learners will have fun discovering how water "sticks" together.

In this activity, learners make their own solar oven to bake s'mores and learn about how solar energy is absorbed on Earth.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this outdoor, windy day activity, learners "fly" and race leaves along a line to discover which types of leaves catch the most wind. Which leaves are the best fliers? Why?

In this activity, challenge learners to predict and investigate how many water drops they can fit on one penny.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate air has weight by comparing an inflated balloon to a deflated one.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity uses a variety of simple props to help learners understand why they see what they see in a telescope.

In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the carbon cycle using movement and props to aid in comprehension.

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

Learners observe a simple balloon model of an electrostatic precipitator. These devices are used for pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution.

In this weather activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the water cycle through an interactive game.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity), learners will model how caves are formed by placing one piece of chalk in a cup of vinegar and another piece in a cup of water, then

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.
