Salt Crystal Garden
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore saturated solutions and discover how crystals form.
Solar Convection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add food coloring to hot and cold water in order to see how fluids at different temperatures move around in convection currents.
Make a Salt Volcano (Lava Lite)
Source Institutions
This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.
Density Rainbows
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of density by pouring 5 different liquids into a jar. Food coloring is added if needed to give each liquid a distinct color.
Weather Stations: Winds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a toaster to generate wind and compare the appliance's heat source to Jupiter's own hot interior. Learners discover that convection drives wind on Jupiter and on Earth.
Causes and Effects of Melting Ice
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.
Changing the Density of a Liquid: Heating and Cooling
Source Institutions
Learners investigate how the temperature of water affects its density.
Global Climate Change and Sea Level Rise
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.
Ocean Currents
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.
