Submarine: Soda Cup Lander
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2), learners create a submarine using a plastic cup. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and density.

Pressing Pressure
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare water pressure at different depths. Learners discover that water pressure increases with depth.

Submersibles and Marshmallows
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.

Milli's Super Sorting Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

Turning the Air Upside Down: Convection Current Model
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.

Convection Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.

Design a Submarine
Source Institutions
Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

Submarine: Lift Bag Lander
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 4), learners create a submarine using a plastic sandwich bag. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and how captured gas can cause objects to float.

Build a Raft
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

Boats Afloat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover what buoyancy is and determine the characteristics that make an object buoyant. Learners design, build, test, and evaluate boats made from a variety of materials.

Turning the Air Upside Down: Spinning Snakes
Learners color and cut out a spiral-shaped snake. When they hang their snake over a radiator, the snake spins.
