Rusty Penny
Source Institutions
In this easy chemistry activity, learners submerge pennies in different liquids (water, lemon juice, vinegar, liquid hand soap, salt water, and baking soda mixed with water) to observe which best clea
Water Clean-up
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.
Coral, Carbon Dioxide and Calcification
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.
Percentage of Oxygen in the Air
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.
Gravestone Weathering
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on pages 9-14 of PDF), learners visit a cemetery to examine the distinguishing characteristics of rock weathering.
Liesegang Rings
Source Institutions
This display shows slow chemical reactions in colorful crystal formations known as Liesegang Rings. These reactions are similar to those forming the rings in agates.
The Carbon Cycle: How It Works
Source Institutions
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
Fast Rusting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out if steel wool will weigh more or less when it is burned. Learners will explore the effects of oxidation and rusting on the steel wool.
Treasures in the Rough
Source Institutions
In this archaeology activity, learners make observations and conduct an experiment to demonstrate the effect saltwater has on artifacts.
The Carbon Cycle: Carbon Tracker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.
Lifting Lemon
Source Institutions
In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.
Finding the Carbon in Sugar
Source Institutions
In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.
The Dead Zone: A Marine Horror Story
Source Institutions
In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien
