In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

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.

In this activity, learners are introduced to robotic submarines called gliders. Learners make “gliders” from plastic syringes and compare these to Cartesian bottles and plastic bubbles.

In this activity, learners build an old-fashioned paddle boat out of simple materials.

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.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.

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.

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this geography investigation, learners use a nighttime satellite image to observe areas of light across the United States and to identify patterns and spatial distributions of human settlements.
