Edible Model of the Sun
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make "solar cookies," edible models of the Sun's outer layers using sugar cookies and toppings.
Amazing Marshmallows
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.
Radioactive Decay of Candium
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.
Single Serving Volcanism
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.
The Scoop on Scallops
Source Institutions
In this data analysis activity, learners quantify the abundance and distribution of sea scallops in and adjacent to the Mid-Atlantic closed areas.
Cook Food Using the Sun
Source Institutions
Learners build a solar oven from a cardboard pizza box, aluminum foil and plastic. Learners can use their oven to cook S'mores or other food in the sun.
Cookie Subduction
Source Institutions
This is a quick activity that shows how large amounts of rock and sediment are added to the edge of continents during subduction.
Super Gelatin
Source Institutions
Can gelatin (like Jell-O ®) change the speed of light?
Making Connections: What You Can Do To Help Stop Global Climate Change
Source Institutions
In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.
Pepper Scatter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.
Mapping Sea Level Rise
Source Institutions
In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.
Why is the Sky Blue?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.
Hot Sauce Hot Spots
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.
Chilean Sea Bass: Off the Menu
Source Institutions
In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.
The Parachuting Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.
Build Your Own Solar Oven
Source Institutions
Learners follow directions to construct a solar oven that really cooks! The solar oven uses aluminum foil to reflect sunlight into a cooking chamber, which is painted black.
Candy Chemosynthesis
Source Institutions
In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.
Chocolate (Sea Floor) Lava
Source Institutions
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.
Toast a Mole!
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!
Got Seaweed?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.
