Under Pressure
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.

Air, It's Really There
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on molecular motion in gases. Learners compare the mass of a basketball when it is deflated and after it has been inflated.

Make a Terrarium
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.
Effects of Solar Radiation on Land and Sea
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

Disappearing Statues
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

Mixtures and Solutions
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to investigate heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures and solutions, identify the differences, and explore the conce

Wave on Wave
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use raisins and seltzer water to understand why waves don’t move objects forward. Learners conduct two simple experiments to understand the circular movement of waves.

Rocket Science
Source Institutions
Learners create a small explosion by collecting hydrogen and oxygen gas together and squeezing them into a flame.

Twirling Rope Frequency
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch), learners will stand twelve feet apart swinging a rope at the slowest tempo possible while someone uses a stopwatch to record

How Do We Convert Electrical Energy into Mechanical Energy?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make an electromagnet motor to demonstrate the most basic method of changing electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Using Solar Energy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.

Static Spoons
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will explore how static electricity affects surrounding objects.

A Degrading Experience
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

Newton Car
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

Geothermal Power Plant Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of a power plant that uses steam. Learners use simple materials like foil, a tin can, and a pot of water to model a geothermal power plant.

Sniffing for a Billionth
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under What's Nano? Activity) about size and scale.

Hanging Around
Learners investigate weight by building a spring scale. They observe and record how it responds to objects with different masses.

Lighting Up Celery Stalks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla

Submersibles and Marshmallows
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.
