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.

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

This is a quick activity that shows how large amounts of rock and sediment are added to the edge of continents during subduction.

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

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.

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

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