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 outdoor, ocean-side activity, learners investigate the distribution of organisms in the upper region of the intertidal zone.

In this activity, learners use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.

In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

In this experiment, learners float colored ice cubes in hot and cold water.

In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.

In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.

In this activity, learners model, on a human-sized board game, how changes in water temperature may affect fish distributions and, ultimately, fisheries.

Learners work in pairs to design, construct, and test a device that exhibits positive, neutral, and negative buoyancy. They test a number of different objects in water to see if they sink or float.

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

In this activity, learners try to figure out who has their matching rock type by reading a description of their rock (no talking!).

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, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs), learners will model how paleontologists estimate the age of fossil discoveries by extracting “fossil” playing cards from newspa

In this activity, learners receive a labeled plastic film canister containing a material representing a pollutant (i.e. pencil shavings = a beaver's wood chips).

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity, learners examine the different materials gardeners add to their soil, and discuss how these materials are important for plant growth.

In this activity, learners investigate wind by comparing the force of wind in different locations. Learners build wind-o-meters out of wooden sticks and strips of paper.
