Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

Learners examine collisions between two skateboards carrying different masses. They learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.

Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, learners examine the geological (ancient) carbon cycle.

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.

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

In this demonstration, learners compare and contrast regular water ice to dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). Both samples are placed in a solution of acid-base indicator.

Learners observe a simple balloon model of an electrostatic precipitator. These devices are used for pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

Learners build at least two different spinners (tops) to investigate how mass distribution, size, and shape affect the length of time the spinner spins.

Learners conduct four simple experiments to demonstrate the effects of air pressure.

Learners cover a bottle with a balloon. When they immerse the bottle in warm water, the balloon inflates. When they immerse the bottle in a bowl of ice, the balloon deflates.

Learners test two jars of ice water, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

Learners create beautiful fluid motion. They explore fluid dynamics, surface tension, solubility, and buoyancy while mixing liquids together.

Learners color and cut out a spiral-shaped snake. When they hang their snake over a radiator, the snake spins.
