The Dirt on Dirt
Source Institutions
In this fun gardening activity, learners discover their soil type. There are three basic soil types: sand, silt, and clay.

Acid Rain Effects
Learners conduct a simple experiment to model and explore the harmful effects of acid rain (vinegar) on living (green leaf and eggshell) and non-living (paper clip) objects.

How Are Soils Classified?
Source Institutions
In this activity about soil (page 7 of the PDF), learners will use their sense of touch as well as sight to understand how soil is classified based on texture and other details.

Space Weather Action Center
Source Institutions
In this interdisciplinary activity, learners create a Space Weather Action Center (SWAC) to monitor solar storms and develop real SWAC news reports.

Jem's Pykrete Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make pykrete by freezing a mixture of water and a material like cotton wool, grass, hair, shredded paper, wood chips, or sawdust.

Grow Rock Candy
Source Institutions
Learners grow sugar crystals (rock candy). They make a hot solution that has an excess of sugar dissolved in it, then as the solution cools, they see sugar crystals form.

Zero-Energy Housing
In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

The Effects of Acid Rain
Source Institutions
In this environmental science activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners use vinegar and chalk to observe the effect of acid rain on various building materials and plant life.

Make a Cast of a Tyrannosaurus rex Fossil
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making cast models of a T. rex. First, learners read about and research how dinosaur fossils form.

Weathering and Erosion
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 13 of the PDF), learners discover how weathering and erosion change the Earth’s surface.

Having a Gas with Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a simple electrolysis device. With this device, learners can decompose water into its elemental components: hydrogen and oxygen gas.
