Mercury in the Environment
Source Institutions
In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.
Diffraction
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, demonstrate diffraction using a candle or a small bright flashlight bulb and a slide made with two pencils.
Corals and Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is changing the acidity (pH) of the ocean and affecting coral reefs and other marin
Convection Current
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.
Differing Densities: Fresh and Salt Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.
Food for the Brain
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners dissect a piece of pizza to learn about nutrients important for health.
Springs and Stomachs
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners investigate mass, gravity, and acceleration by dropping a wooden bar with a balloon attached to its underside, a mass suspended from it by rubber bands, and a sharp-poi
Colored Shadows
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners discover that not all shadows are black. Learners explore human color perception by using colored lights to make additive color mixtures.
Global Climate Change and Sea Level Rise
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.
