Learners use red cabbage juice and pH indicator paper to test the acidity and basicity of household materials. The activity links this concept of acids and bases to acid rain and other pollutants.

In this activity, learners hook up a hair to a lever system and create a hair hygrometer to measure changes in humidity.

In this experiment, learners work in teams to investigate how the color of a surface influences its ability to reflect light and therefore heat.

In this lesson that includes hands-on activities and demonstrations, learners discover that it is the tilt of the Earth's axis (not its proximity to the sun) that causes the seasons.

In this activity, learners create models of erosion and floods and learn to recognize both in their environment.

In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.

Learners use beach profile data from a local beach or online data from Ocean City, Maryland to investigate coastal erosion and sediment transport.

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the water cycle using movement, sound, and props to aid in comprehension.

This is a culminating activity which allows learners to summarize what they know about Woodlands Native Americans by creating illustrations and map symbols for a large outline map (see related Activit

In this activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this activity related to climate change, learners examine albedo and the ice albedo feedback effect as it relates to snow, ice, and the likely results of reduced snow and ice cover on global temper

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

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

From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

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

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.
