In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

Learners explore the variables that affect the properties of ice and the places where different types of ice are found.

In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

Learners use a candle to investigate the products of combustion. When a glass rod is held over a lit candle, the candle flame deposits carbon on the rod.

Learners discover that their breath contains carbon dioxide, one of the pollutants found in car exhaust.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

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

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this activity, learners will explore saturated solutions and discover how crystals form.

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

In this activity, learners use raisins and seltzer water to understand why waves don’t move objects forward. Learners conduct two simple experiments to understand the circular movement of waves.

In this activity, learners create channel features with flowing water, comparing their observations to real images of Mars and Earth taken by satellites/orbiters.

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.

In this activity, learners will discover how the thin layers of amphibians' skin allow water and other chemicals to pass through it.

In this biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.

In this quick activity, learners explore how blubber protects animals from the cold by making a "blubber mitt." Using cooking shortening, two zip-top sandwich bags, and duct tape, learners simulate bl
