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

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

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 engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this three-part activity, learners explore how waves are formed and why some waves are bigger than others. First, learners observe waves of water in a pan generated by an electric fan.

In this activity, learners consider how oil spills behave in the ocean and what impact they have on marine wildlife.

In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.

In this thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.

In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.
