Acid (and Base) Rainbows
Learners use red cabbage juice and pH indicator paper to test the acidity and basicity of household materials. The activity links this concept of acids and bases to acid rain and other pollutants.
Good News: We're on the Rise!
Learners build a simple aneroid barometer to learn about changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They observe their barometer and record data over a period of days.
Acid Rain Effects
Learners conduct a simple experiment to model and explore the harmful effects of acid rain (vinegar) on living (green leaf and eggshell) and non-living (paper clip) objects.
Sled Kite
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.
Wind Tube
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.
Jet Propulsion
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.
