In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

In this activity, learners explore how to protect their skin while applying pesticides to plants.

In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this activity, learners working in pairs saturate a cotton ball using water drops from an eyedropper to demonstrate the high water capacity of clouds.

In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.

In this activity, learners will estimate the sizes of balls to learn how to estimate the size of hail. Learners will compare their estimates to the estimates of their peers and the real measurements.

In this activity, learners discover how the extent of various wind speeds changes in each of the four quadrants around a hurricane.

This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.

In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.

In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.

In this activity, learners compare water pressure at different depths. Learners discover that water pressure increases with depth.

In this activity, learners make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.

In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

In this activity on page 60, learners examine and simulate wildlife entanglement by experiencing what it might be like to be a marine animal trapped in debris.

In this activity, learners create and understand surface currents. Learners create example surface currents and discover how landmasses affect the current.

In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.

This is an activity about dinosaurs, fossils, and the work of paleontologists. Learners use hand tools (paint brushes, scoops, and sifters) to unearth fossil specimens in tubs of birdseed.
