In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this activity, learners make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.

In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

Learners follow directions to construct a solar oven that really cooks! The solar oven uses aluminum foil to reflect sunlight into a cooking chamber, which is painted black.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

Learners explore how recyclers take advantage of the different properties of materials, such as magnetism and density, to separate them from a mixture.

In this hands-on activity, learners investigate the functional design of leaves on a tree.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

Learners use chromatography to separate and analyze the mixture of pigments in leaves. Use this activity to discuss photosynthesis as well as why leaves change color in autumn.

In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.

In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.

This simple hands-on activity demonstrates why the sky appears blue on a sunny day and red during sunrise and sunset.

Learners build a wind turbine and test it to see how much energy is created.

In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

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

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.
