In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

In this activity, learners discover how to determine the distance to a lightning strike or nearby thunderstorm.

This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

Learners see convection currents in action in this highly visual demonstration. Sealed bags of colored hot or cold water are immersed in tanks of water.

Investigate how force and thrust work to propel rockets into outer space. Build a rocket: a blown-up balloon taped to a drinking straw threaded through some string.

What keeps bubbles and other things, like airplanes, floating or flying in the air?

In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between cooling water vapor and condensation. Learners investigate condensation forming on the outside of a cold cup.

In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda reacting to form carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.

In this activity, learners will measure their lung capacity by making their own spirometer. Learners will then explore factors that affect the amount of air the lungs can hold.

In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

Learners measure a bottle full of air, and then use a vacuum pump to remove the air. When they re-weigh the bottle, learners find the mass is about 0.8g less.
