Make a Comet Model and Eat It!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

Soda Brand vs. Height Experiment: Soda Geyser Series #4
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine which brand of soda makes the best (highest) soda geyser.

The Incredible Journey
Source Institutions
In this weather activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the water cycle through an interactive game.

Sugar/Salt Crystals
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will observe a physical change.

Exploring Properties: Surface Area
Source Institutions
This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

Exploring the Nanoworld with LEGO Bricks: Structure-Property Relationships at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 32-41), learners learn how the atomic and molecular arrangement of matter are related to physical properties.

Heavy Air
Source Institutions
In this activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate visually and physically that air has weight. Learners balance two equally-inflated balloons hanging from string on a yard stick.

Shape Up!
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 8-9), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

Atmosphere Composition Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

Salt Crystal Garden
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore saturated solutions and discover how crystals form.

Crushing Test
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a crushing test and discover that identifying and controlling the variables may be difficult.

Liquid Crystals Interact with Light!
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners explore the properties of liquid crystals, which are responsible for why mood rings change color.

Atmospheric Collisions
Source Institutions
In this activity/demonstration, learners observe what happens when two ping pong balls are suspended in the air by a hair dryer. Use this activity to demonstrate how rain drops grow by coalescence.

Wind Power: Creating a Wind Generator
Source Institutions
This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

Corals on Acid
Source Institutions
The objective of this inquiry-based lesson is for learners to gain an understanding of how increasing ocean acidity can affect the calcification of marine organisms.

Red, White and Blue II Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the rule "likes dissolve likes" by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a colorful density column.

Stream Table
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use aluminum trays and wooden blocks to form stream tables to investigate river formations in two different landscape scenarios.

Searching for Life
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discuss how life is defined and conduct a simple experiment, looking for signs of life in three different “soil” samples.

Erupting Fizz
Source Institutions
This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.
