In this activity, learners simulate the energy transfer between the earth and space by using the light from a desk lamp desk lamp with an incandescent bulb and a stack of glass plates.

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

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.

In this online activity, learners see simulations of how processes shape the Earth, and see estimates of how long these processes take.

This activity demonstrates liquefaction, the process by which some soils lose their solidity during an earthquake.

This hands-on astronomy activity lets learners hunt for different objects in the night sky that contribute to stellar and planetary formation, using a Treasure List.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners make their own water treatment systems for cleaning water.

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

Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.

In this activity, learn about the cultural stories behind constellations. Then recreate your favorite constellations using marshmallows and toothpicks.

In this quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity), learners will observe how dry breakfast cereal appears to dance when it gets close to a balloon charged with static

"Exploring the Solar System: Hide and Seek Moon" is an engaging way for early childhood learners to experiment with some of the tools scientists use to study objects that are very, very far away, and

In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

Water on Earth is in lakes, the ocean, rivers, underground, and frozen glaciers.

Learners investigate why the Sun and Moon appear the same size in the sky even though the Sun is over 400 times larger in diameter.

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.

In this activity about the circulatory system and space travel (on page 38 of the PDF), learners use water balloons to simulate the effects of gravity and microgravity on fluid distribution in the bod
