In this activity, learners model, on a human-sized board game, how changes in water temperature may affect fish distributions and, ultimately, fisheries.

This demonstration/activity helps learners understand why higher elevations are not always warm simply because "hot air rises." Learners use a tire pump to increase the pressure and temperature inside

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

This display shows the dangers of acid rain on buildings and other structures as two concrete bunny rabbits are disintegrated by sulfuric acid. Learners scrape chalk onto the concrete bunnies.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

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.

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.

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

In this four-day activity, learners grow bacteria and/or fungi from a variety of locations and compare the results.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners examine the effects that light and air have on green plants.

In this activity, learners will observe birds in their backyard or local park. They will attempt to find common Ohio birds and will look for bird behaviors just like an ornithologist.

In this activity, learners use the Sun's energy to cook marshmallows. Learners construct the solar oven out of simple everyday materials.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes) is a full inquiry investigation into aerial imagery.

In this activity, learners explore the difference between compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and traditional incandescent bulbs.

In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien

April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?

Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.

In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.
