In this weather activity which requires adult supervision, learners will get a chance to make a cloud right here on Earth!

Ocean acidification is a problem that humans will have to deal with as we release more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

In this activity, learners explore how air warms when it condenses water vapor or makes clouds.

Learners blow into balloons and collect their breath--carbon dioxide gas (CO2). They then blow the CO2 from the balloon into a solution of acid-base indicator.

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

In this chemistry demonstration, acid rain is simulated in a petri dish.

Learners add acid rain (nitric acid) to two cups that represent lakes. One cup contains limestone gravel and the other contains granite gravel.

The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

In this quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force that attract

Learners use a candle to investigate the products of combustion. When a glass rod is held over a lit candle, the candle flame deposits carbon on the rod.

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

In this demonstration, learners can observe a number of small convection cells generated from a mixture of aluminum powder and silicon oil on a hot plate.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment by heating an aluminum can filled with water to investigate air pressure.

In this activity, learners see how many coins they can add to a full glass of water before the water overflows.

In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.

In this activity, learners conduct a simple experiment to see how electrically charged things like plastic attract electrically neutral things like water.

In this activity about color, learners get to explore the process of chromatography. Right before their eyes, they can watch ordinary green and black ink turn into a literal rainbow of colors.

Learners discover that their breath contains carbon dioxide, one of the pollutants found in car exhaust.

In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.
