In this activity, learners (at least three) work together to explore the effects of atmospheric pressure.

In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.

Ocean acidification is a big issue due to the amount of carbon dioxide humans release. CO2 in the atmosphere is absorbed into the ocean thus changing its acidity.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out if steel wool will weigh more or less when it is burned. Learners will explore the effects of oxidation and rusting on the steel wool.

In this activity, learners create a tornado in a bottle to observe a spiraling, funnel-shaped vortex. A simple connector device allows water to drain from a 2-liter bottle into a second bottle.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners create a magnetic field that's stronger than the Earth's magnetic field.

In this activity, learners use their hands as tools for indirect measurement.

In this activity, learners observe as soap bubbles float on a cushion of carbon dioxide gas. Learners blow bubbles into an aquarium filled with a slab of dry ice.

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

In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.
