River Catcher
Source Institutions
In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.
Let's Dew It!
Source Institutions
From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.
Trash Traits
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.
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.
Make a Terrarium
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.
Transit Tracks
Source Institutions
In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.
Effects of Solar Radiation on Land and Sea
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.
Map Your World
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners map their world by drawing a plan of their bedroom.
Float or Sink?
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.
The Drake Equation
Source Institutions
In this math activity, based on the research of famed astronomer Frank Drake, learners calculate the possibilities of finding intelligent life elsewhere in the universe besides Earth.
LEGO Orrery
Source Institutions
Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.
The Shadow Knows II
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.
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.
Mapping Greenhouse Gas Emissions Where You Live
Source Institutions
In this lesson plan, learners examine some of the of greenhouse gas emissions sources in their community.
Weather Stations: Storms
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.
Kid Moon: Splat!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.
Prehistoric Climate Change
Source Institutions
In this online interactive, learners use fossils to infer temperatures 55 million years ago, at the sites where the fossils were found.
Dinosaur Interaction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.
Experiencing Parallax With Your Thumb
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.
Measuring and Protecting Skin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.
