In this activity, learners explore density, convection, stratification, and, by inference, the melting of icebergs. Learners make hypotheses, test their hypotheses, and explain their observations.

Learners complete two simple experiments to prove the existence of air and air pressure which surround us.

“Exploring the Universe: Imagining Life” is a hands-on activity in which visitors imagine and draw an extreme environment beyond Earth, then invent a living thing that could thrive in it.

En esta actividad, los aprendices harán un terrario usando materiales simples.

In this activity, learners will explore what a constellation is and make their own.

In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.

In this activity, learners gain knowledge about how carbon moves through all four of the Earth’s major spheres (biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere), and understand how humans influenc

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this activity, learners work together to interpret an "alien message." The group pretends that this is the only message from an imaginary civilization, so there is no "key" and thus no "correct" wa

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.

This activity generates learner excitement about light through the creation of a room-sized rainbow.

In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.

In this quick activity about the properties of water (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Malformed Frogs), learners will use an eyedropper to slowly place one drop of water at a time onto a penny,

In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda creating carbon dioxide (CO2) in a bottle. The gas is poured out of a bottle onto a candle flame, putting out the candle.

Learners investigate how drag affects the falling rate of objects.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners see how many coins they can add to a full glass of water before the water overflows.

Learners test two jars containing hot water, one covered with plastic and one open, for changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners will discover how our universe is continuously expanding.
