In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.

In this goopy activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will model glacial movement with “gak,” a white glue and liquid starch mixture.

In this chemistry activity, learners explore chemical reactions and their effects, including the kind of reaction in the human body that makes people burp!

In this activity, learners are asked to examine the differences between two materials in a pair.

Build a hydrometer (measures the density of a liquid) using a pipet or eyedropper.

Learners observe a flask with a balloon attached over the mouth and inverted inside the flask.

In this hands-on science experiment, students combine their understanding of the different states of matter and the characteristics of various chemical reactions.

This is an activity about the behavior of light. Using simple, everyday objects, learners will discover that light moves in straight lines until acted upon by another object.

This activity has learners observe water and compare it to other liquids.

In this activity, learners use heat to separate zinc and copper in a penny. This experiment demonstrates physical properties and how physical change (phase change) can be used to separate matter.

In this chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a layered drink with liquids of different densities.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

Learners discover that soap can be used to power a boat. Learners make a simple, flat boat model, put it in water, and then add a drop of detergent at the back of the boat.

In this activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.

What keeps bubbles and other things, like airplanes, floating or flying in the air?

In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.

Learners develop awareness and understanding of the daily air quality using the Air Quality Index (AQI) listed in the newspaper or online.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between cooling water vapor and condensation. Learners investigate condensation forming on the outside of a cold cup.

Learners investigate the properties of the liquids in two bottles. One contains layers of oil and water, and one contains oil, water, and soap.
