Digging Into the Past
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 23-27) lets learners simulate the work of scientists who take core samples of Earth's rocky layers to determine geological history.

Weather Stations: Storms
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.

Hot Sauce Hot Spots
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

Using a Sundial
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

To Topo Two
Source Institutions
In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

A Crayon Rock Cycle- Metamorphic
Source Institutions
This is part 2 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity and must be done after part 1: Sedimentary Rocks. In this activity, learners explore how metamorphic rocks form.

Earthquake Energy
Source Institutions
In this geology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners simulate an earthquake with little more than an elastic band and drinking straws.

Energy Choices Board Game
Source Institutions
This board game teaches learners about energy decision making. Players select cards that determine the transportation and home design that will influence their expenses as they play.

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.

DIY Science: Water Cycle in a Bag!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.

Egg Carton Nursery
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.
