Learners build a simple aneroid barometer to learn about changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They observe their barometer and record data over a period of days.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

This lesson plan enables learners to explore the differences between weather and climate.

In this 7-10 day investigation, learners develop an understanding of waves and tides and their motion through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on activities.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

In this activity, a group of learners work collaboratively to design and construct a paper model showing the evolution of an environment through multiple stages, from prehistory through the modern cit

An estuary is a body of water that is created when freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the saltwater of an ocean.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this activity, learners model estuaries, artificially enriching both fresh and salt water samples with different amounts of nutrients and observing the growth of algae over several weeks.

In this activity, learners gain a better understanding of how household/school waste breaks down in a landfill. Learners collect trash and then create miniature landfills in 2-liter bottles.

The Butterflies in Space Teacher's Guide uses "life in space" to encourage learners to conduct their own open-ended scientific investigations.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.
