In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this activity, learners build and test a compass. Learners work in pairs and pretend they are stuck in the wilderness at night.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this three-part activity, learners explore how waves are formed and why some waves are bigger than others. First, learners observe waves of water in a pan generated by an electric fan.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.

In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.
