In this activity about ramps, learners explore and measure the rate at which spherical objects roll down a ramp.

This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.

In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

This creative lesson plan provides a visual way for learners to gain knowledge about the finite amount of fresh water on Earth and encourages the discussion of the various ways to conserve this resour

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

In this two-part activity, learners use everyday materials to visualize one mole of gas or 22.4 liters of gas. The first activity involves sublimating dry ice in large garbage bag.

In this demonstration, learners explore a variation of a Foucault pendulum, but upside down.

Learners combine hydrogen peroxide with three different forms of potato: raw chunks, ground chunks, and boiled chunks.

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

Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

Are balloons porous or non-porous? In this activity, learners watch an entertaining Mr. O video and conduct a simple experiment to find out.

In this interactive and informative group activity, learners use packages of M&M's to illustrate the difference between weather and climate.

As a group, learners investigate three packages which are all the same size and shape, but have different contents. One is filled with foam, one is filled with wood, and one is filled with metal.

In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this astronomy activity, learners create a model of the solar system using beads and string.

In this activity, learners act as the Earth and observe how different angles between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the phases of the moon we see each month.

In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.
