Cleaning with Dirt
Source Institutions
Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.

Wiggly Water
Source Institutions
This is a simple and fun activity for learners to explore water and colors.

A Funny Taste
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.
Bat Echolocation Experiment
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how bats use echolocation to get information about objects in their environment. During the activity, one learner whispers into a tube.

Diet Light
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

Fused Plastic Wallet
Source Institutions
In this up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

A Recipe for Air
Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

Going for a Spin: Making a Model Steam Turbine
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

Seismic Slinky!
Source Institutions
Did you know that a Slinky makes a handy model of earthquake waves?

Glue Stick Sunset
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why the sky is blue. Learners model the scattering of light by the atmosphere, which creates the blue sky and red sunset, using a flashlight and clear glue sticks.

Animal House
Source Institutions
The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

Hidden Color Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover what colors are in different markers, and may be surprised at the results.

Twirling in the Breeze
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

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

The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 3
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

Running in Circles
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners use some common objects and work together to simulate the Coriolis effect. During the challenge, learners make predictions and test different scenarios.

Amazon Water Cycle Roleplay
Source Institutions
In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the water cycle using movement, sound, and props to aid in comprehension.

Homemade Snow
Source Institutions
In this sensory activity, learners enjoy the fun of a snow day any season of the year.

Coral, Carbon Dioxide and Calcification
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

Deep Sea Diver
Source Institutions
In this ocean engineering activity, learners explore buoyancy and water displacement. Then, learners design models of deep sea divers that are neutrally buoyant.
