Ocean Acidification in a Cup
Source Institutions
Ocean acidification is a problem that humans will have to deal with as we release more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Do Cities Affect the Weather?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.
How can Clouds Help Keep the Air Warmer?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how air warms when it condenses water vapor or makes clouds.
Why is the Sky Blue?
Source Institutions
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.
Rock Bottoms
Source Institutions
Learners add acid rain (nitric acid) to two cups that represent lakes. One cup contains limestone gravel and the other contains granite gravel.
Does Air Weigh Anything?
Source Institutions
The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.
Pepper Scatter
Source Institutions
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
Chocolate (Sea Floor) Lava
Source Institutions
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.
What is a “Convection Cell”?
Source Institutions
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.
Can Crushers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment by heating an aluminum can filled with water to investigate air pressure.
When is a Glass of Water Really Full?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners see how many coins they can add to a full glass of water before the water overflows.
Make Your Own Deep-Sea Vent
Source Institutions
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.
Electrostatic Water Attraction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a simple experiment to see how electrically charged things like plastic attract electrically neutral things like water.
Air Pressure
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.
