The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 3
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.
What Trickles Down?
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to explore the permeability of different materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and marbles.
Corals and Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is changing the acidity (pH) of the ocean and affecting coral reefs and other marin
Getting There!: Navigation and Trajectory
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.
History of Electricity
Source Institutions
This is a series of demonstrations about different electrical and magnetic phenomena.
The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 2
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause
Disease Detectives
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine antibodies and antibody recognition using a model.
Sky Glider Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners use two helium-filled balloons to build a blimp that can travel in a straight path across the room.
Mountain Man Measurement Rendezvous
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners participate in several activities where they apply measurement skills.
The Carbon Cycle: How It Works
Source Institutions
In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another
Sink or Swim?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners identify different plastics in a mystery bag. Learners discover that plastics are classified #1 through #7.
Tracking Otters
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 38-43) has learners simulate the way scientists track and map the movement of otters in the wild using radio trackers.
Puzzled Partners
Source Institutions
In this web-based activity, learners try to figure out who in an online chat room has their matching puzzle piece.
Conservation Island
Source Institutions
In this lesson, learners will understand the concepts behind endangered and extinct animals and develop their own conservation plan to save three endangered species.
Energy Audit
Source Institutions
In this lesson, learners will practice graphing and statistically analyzing data.
Seeing the World Through a Different Lens
Source Institutions
Learners participate in a variety of activities modeling different disabilities.
Water Treatment
