In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

In this activity, learners explore how hot and cold water move. Learners observe that temperature and density affect how liquids rise and fall.

In this activity, learners investigate the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form.

In this exploratory activity, learners experiment, observe and determine how various toys change from one form of energy to another.

In this activity (Lesson 1), learners work in groups to create tide simulations.

In this activity (page 12), learners explore how molecules self-assemble and how molecules must fit together, like a lock and key, in order to identify each other and initiate a new function as a comb

In this activity, learners investigate convection by using food coloring and water of different temperatures.

Learners use compasses to detect the magnetic field created by current moving through a wire. This is one of four activities learners can complete related to PhysicsQuest 2008.

Create a painting by blowing air out of a straw. Push liquid acrylic paint around on some watercolor paper by aiming short bursts of air onto the paint puddle.

In this activity, learners calculate their water usage (in cups and galloons) during an average shower. Learners also chart and analyze water usage during showers in their households.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

In this experiment, learners discover how an airfoil creates lift. Learners use simple materials to build an airfoil and test it at different angles to investigate Bernoulli's principle.

In this activity, learners construct drawing machines using a cup, some markers, and a battery pack. The markers act as "legs" for the machine, making a drawing that records as it moves.

In this activity, learners use the Sun's energy to cook marshmallows. Learners construct the solar oven out of simple everyday materials.

In this activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will create a food web and explore food sources for different organisms. They will identify relationships between organisms in an ecosystem.

In this activity, learners create models of bugs. Learners use household materials like plastic cups and straws to create models of bugs like centipedes and spiders.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing their very own banjo out of a coffee can. Learners experiment with the canjo to change the instrument's pitch and timbre.

In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.

In this archaeology-related activity, learners build their own time capsule and choose a storage location and a date to reopen it.

In this simulation activity, learners will raise a pack of wolves under ten different conditions: without human interference and with human interference.
