Matter on the Move
Source Institutions
Learners observe and conduct experiments demonstrating the different properties of hot and cold materials.
Collect Oxygen Over Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a pneumatic trough (see related activity) to generate and collect pure oxygen.
Drying It Out
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.
Dry Ice Comet
Source Institutions
In this activity, dry ice and other items are used to construct a demonstration model of a comet that illustrates the comet nucleus, coma, and tails.
Earth's Energy Cycle: Albedo
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.
Evaporation
Source Institutions
This three-part activity consists of an activity that groups of learners develop themselves, a given procedure, and an optional demonstration.
What Molecules Make the Holes in Bread?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.
Geothermal Power Plant Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of a power plant that uses steam. Learners use simple materials like foil, a tin can, and a pot of water to model a geothermal power plant.
Sidewalk Chalk
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners witness an exothermic reaction, while making their very own, completely usable sidewalk chalk. This is also an excellent activity for exploring color mixing.
Melting Ice
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore density, convection, stratification, and, by inference, the melting of icebergs. Learners make hypotheses, test their hypotheses, and explain their observations.
Tiny Geyser Models
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2), learners will construct tiny model geysers out of film canisters, warm water, and antacid seltzer tablets.
Keep-a-Cube
Source Institutions
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.
Balloon in a Flask
Source Institutions
Learners observe a flask with a balloon attached over the mouth and inverted inside the flask.
Carbon Cycle Poster
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners gain knowledge about how carbon moves through all four of the Earth’s major spheres (biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere), and understand how humans influenc
Ice Cream Freeze
Source Institutions
In this fun and delicious chemistry activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will explore the difference between physical and chemical change by making homemade ice cream.
We all Scream for Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.
Moving Without Wheels
In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.
Crystal Stencil Stars
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners dissolve Epsom salt in water and discover that the resulting solution can be used to create a work of art.
Condensation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the process of condensation.
Carbon Cycle Roleplay
Source Institutions
In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the carbon cycle using movement and props to aid in comprehension.
