In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this activity, learners working in pairs saturate a cotton ball using water drops from an eyedropper to demonstrate the high water capacity of clouds.

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

In this quick activity, learners observe how wind creates ocean currents.

In this activity, learners act as the Earth and observe how different angles between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the phases of the moon we see each month.

In this weather activity/demonstration, learners watch as a ping pong ball is suspended in a stream of air supplied by a hair dryer.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

In this quick activity, learners observe how salinity and temperature affect the density of water, to better understand the Great Ocean Conveyor.

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.

In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

In this quick activity, learners use a toaster to investigate the source for the Earth's wind. Learners hold a pinwheel above a toaster to discover that rising heat causes wind.

In this activity, learners explore the factors that tend to resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.

In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea

In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate the effect of the weight of air over our heads.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty soda cans to illustrate Bernoulli's principle.
