“Exploring Earth: Investigating Clouds” is a hands-on activity in which visitors create a cloud in a bottle and explore it with laser light.

In this dramatic activity/demonstration about phase change and condensation, learners place an aluminum can filled with about two tablespoons of water on a stove burner.

In this demonstration, learners observe how liquid nitrogen both boils and freezes ingredients to make ice cream in two minutes.

In this activity, learners touch supercooled water drops with an ice crystal and trigger the water drops to freeze instantly.

In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 108: My Ice Pops, learners observe reversible change while thinking about ways to make ice melt.

In this activity, challenge learners to keep an ice cube from completely melting in 30 minutes. Learners engineer a box or wrap to prevent an ice cube from melting.

In this activity about phase change and condensation, learners boil water in an empty pop bottle in the microwave.

In this activity, learners heat ice and water of the same temperature to get a hands-on look at phase changes. This is an easy and inexpensive way to introduce states of matter and thermodynamics.

In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.

In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.
