In this weather activity, learners build their own wind detector and test for the presence of convection currents in their indoor location.

In this activity, learners measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.

In this activity, learners will build rainwater collectors to practice meteorology in their own backyard. Collect and analyze data to determine how much rainfall you get in a set period of time.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure by attempting to make "balloon kebabs." Learners will try to insert a wooden skewer all the way through an inflated balloon

In this geology activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners explore how carbonic acid can slowly dissolve limestone and form caves.

Learners explore how the attractive forces between water molecules create surface tension and allow certain objects to float on the surface of water.

In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.

In this activity, young learners will model land and water on the Earth's surface to make a unique piece of "Earth Art." Activity includes materials list, step-by-step instructions, STEM connections a

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.

This is a fun activity about the power of the Sun and the importance of using sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin from its rays.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons and anatomy. Learners make observations about a T. rex skeleton diagram and then measure the skeleton length and width.

In this environmental science activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners use vinegar and chalk to observe the effect of acid rain on various building materials and plant life.

In this geology activity, learners use a microscope to discover and identify the components of sand.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of magnetic fields by inserting a small, strong magnet into a sphere.

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

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

In this activity, learners build their your own seismograph with household materials to document shaking.

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.
