Cleaning with Dirt
Source Institutions
Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.
Lava Layering: Making and Mapping a Volcano
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how geologists use stratigraphy, the study of layered rock, to understand the sequence of geological events.
Cloud Fun
Source Institutions
Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.
Vanishing Craters
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 12-15), learners make a crater model and test the effects of weather (rain) on its surface.
Ocean Home: Swimming Fishes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model, on a human-sized board game, how changes in water temperature may affect fish distributions and, ultimately, fisheries.
A Hole in the Ground
Source Institutions
Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.
Invent a Plant
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.
Regolith Formation
Source Institutions
In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.
How Greenhouse Gases Absorb Heat
Source Institutions
Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.
The Incredible Journey
Source Institutions
In this weather activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the water cycle through an interactive game.
Weathering and Erosion
Source Institutions
In this multi-station lab, learners conduct a series of experiments to explore the processes and effects of weathering and erosion.
Cool It
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.
Off Base
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the factors that tend to resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.
Wintergreen
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.
