In this activity, learners explore the behavior of cold-blooded animals. Learners discover what happens when they change a fly's temperature.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

In this activity (Lesson 1), learners work in groups to create tide simulations.

In this laboratory exercise, learners will discover how many different plant hosts they can find that are infected by the same genus of a powdery mildew fungus, or how many different genera of powdery

In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

This activity helps learners understand how the angle of the Sun affects temperatures around the globe.

Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, learners examine the geological (ancient) carbon cycle.

In this activity related to microbes, learners make slides of cells from an onion skin and Elodea (American or Canadian waterweed) to observe under a microscope.

In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

In this activity, learners make acid/base indicator paper, place the indicator paper on an anthill, disturb a bunch of ants, and then observe what happens!

In this activity, learners discover why only some types of plastic can be recycled.

In this activity (on pages 9-14), learners dissect a real flower -- the kind of work botanists do.

In this family or group activity, learners conduct a chromatography experiment to reveal the colors that leaves "hide" under their green pigments.

In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

Learners explore the variables that affect the properties of ice and the places where different types of ice are found.

In this activity, learners use the Sun's energy to cook marshmallows. Learners construct the solar oven out of simple everyday materials.
