Acid (and Base) Rainbows
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.
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.
Amazon Water Cycle Roleplay
Source Institutions
In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the water cycle using movement, sound, and props to aid in comprehension.
What does Color have to do with Cooling?
Source Institutions
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.
Acid Rain
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, acid rain is simulated in a petri dish.
Coral and Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners will explore whether increased carbon dioxide makes our oceans more basic or more acidic.
Mold Mole Molds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).
Carbon Cycle Roleplay
Source Institutions
In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the carbon cycle using movement and props to aid in comprehension.
Sensory Hi-Lo Hunt
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.
Portable Potable Pressure
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use plastic water bottles, wood, and water to build an inexpensive and portable tool to demonstrate one atmosphere of pressure at sea level.
Finding the Carbon in Sugar
Source Institutions
In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.
Battling for Oxygen
Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.
Blue Sky
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners explore why the sky is blue and the sunset is red, using a simple setup comprising a transparent plastic box, water, and powdered milk.
