Grades:
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of the physical characteristics and absorption of types of materials that make up soil.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will assess solar power by comparing its effect on rain (water), sleet (ice), and snow (popsicles).
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will learn about tornadoes and simulate one inside a small bottle.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will learn about the nature of light, make predictions about and assess its ability to pass through various substances.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will be able to describe the water cycle by creating and observing a model.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will experiment with ice and water and evaluate how both can carry materials and change the formation of Earth's surface.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will model the weathering of rocks by shaking sugar cubes in a container.
- K–5
- 6–8
Grades:
In this activity, students will produce different chemical reactions with yeast.
- 6–8
Grades:
In this activity, students will take on the role of organisms in various environments as they discover the concept of interdependence in ecosystems.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will place foods in different environments and observe the rate at which those foods decompose.
- 6–8
Grades:
In this activity students will examine the relationships between the organisms within an ecosystem and how changes that affect one affect the others.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will analyze different types of soil.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will create their own windmills and test them in a wind created by a fan.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will evaluate different 'before' and 'after' stations to decide if heating and cooling changes are reversible.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will test and observe the bouncing properties of different types of balls (softball, basketball, golf ball, playground ball, volleyball, beach ball, ball of paper).
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity students will experiment with how far sound travels naturally, as compared to how far it travels with satellite amplification.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will observe how ice melts on wood and metal blocks, and they will draw conclusions about how heat conducts through different materials.
- 6–8
Grades:
In this activity, students build simple circuits to investigate the conductivity of solutions.
