Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

In this activity, learners investigate how different materials repel or absorb water. Learners use spray bottles to explore how everyday items like sponges, cardboard, feathers, etc.

In this activity, learners experiment with creating various types of bubble solutions and testing which ingredients form longer-lasting bubbles.

In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area and reactivity.

In this activity, learners use cheap, thin plastic garbage bags to quickly build a solar hot air balloon. In doing so, learners will explore why hot air rises.

This hands-on activity lets participant explore chemical reactions as they create a soda explosion with lots of bubbles. The bubbles in soda are made of carbon dioxide gas.

In this inquiry-based lesson, learners measure the biomass of trees, calculate the carbon stored by the trees, and use this information to create recommendations about using trees for carbon sequestra

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

Before there were clocks, people used shadows to tell time. In this outdoor activity, learners will discover how to tell time using only a compass, a pencil, a handy printout, and a sunny day.
