Learners use simple materials to construct a model the Big Dipper. Learners hang the model from a doorway or ceiling and look up at it to see the constellation as seen from Earth.

Learners explore how the attractive forces between water molecules create surface tension and allow certain objects to float on the surface of water.

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

In this physics activity (page 8-9 of the PDF), learners will explore wind energy. They will build their own windmill and see how energy from wind can be converted into a useable form.

In this weather activity, learners build their own wind detector and test for the presence of convection currents in their indoor location.

In this activity, learners use maps to locate the Northwest Coastal region.

In this optics activity, learners explore why the sky is blue and the sunset is red, using a simple setup comprising a transparent plastic box, water, and powdered milk.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.

In this activity, learners use maps to locate the Arctic region and use a word game to discover the types of resource people need to survive in the extreme climate.
