In this activity, learners create a model of a hot air balloon using tissue paper and a hairdryer. Educators can use this activity to introduce learners to density and its role in why things float.
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.
Plastics the Second Time Around
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test and compare the physical properties of thermoplastic polymers. Learners compare different plastics based on their color, degree of transparency, texture, and density.
Oil Spill Cleanup
This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.
Density Intensity
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 12 of the PDF (Rethinking the 3 R’s: It’s Easy to be Green), learners examine how recyclable materials are separated by various properties at recycling centers.
Causes and Effects of Melting Ice
Source Institutions
