Avalanche
Source Institutions
In this geology activity, learners create a model using a mixture of salt and sand inside a CD case. When the case is tilted or inverted, the mixture dramatically sorts into a layered pattern.
Investigating Density Currents
Source Institutions
In this lab activity, learners explore how to initiate a density current. Learners measure six flasks with different concentrations of salt and water (colored blue).

Volcanic Material Catapult Investigation
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Lava Flow Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the relationship between an object’s mass and the distance it is thrown by a catapult.

Sink or Swim?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners identify different plastics in a mystery bag. Learners discover that plastics are classified #1 through #7.

Oil Spill Cleanup

Mass of the Earth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

Where Do We Choose to Live and Why?
Source Institutions
In this geography investigation, learners use a nighttime satellite image to observe areas of light across the United States and to identify patterns and spatial distributions of human settlements.

Global Climate Change and Sea Level Rise
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.
