Changing the Density of a Liquid: Heating and Cooling
Source Institutions
Learners investigate how the temperature of water affects its density.
DIY Science: Water Cycle in a Bag!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.
Marine Ecosystems
Source Institutions
In the wild, small crustaceans known as brine shrimp live in marine habitats such as saltwater lakes.
Water Treatment
Source Institutions
Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.
Oil Spot Photometer
Source Institutions
In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.
Clear Water, Murky Water
Source Institutions
How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?
Soil Secrets
Source Institutions
In this activity (located at the bottom of the page), learners investigate soil and explore the creatures that live in it.
Bury Me Not!
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.
Stick to It: Adhesion II
Source Institutions
Water sticks to all kinds of things in nature — flowers, leaves, spider webs - and doesn't stick to others, such as a duck's back.
Blowin' in the Wind
Source Institutions
In this weather activity, learners build their own wind detector and test for the presence of convection currents in their indoor location.
How Might Elevated CO2 Affect Plants
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.
Sand Dunes
Source Institutions
This outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes) is a full inquiry investigation into how the amount of moisture in a sand dune relates to the number of plants growing
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.
I Can't Take the Pressure!
Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.
What's Hiding in the Air?: Rubber Band Air Test
Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.
Use Clues to Solve an Ice Mystery
Source Institutions
Learners explore the variables that affect the properties of ice and the places where different types of ice are found.
Air Pressure
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.
Giving Water the Treatment
Source Institutions
In this ecology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore how to filter contaminated water using a variety of materials.
Global Climate Change and Sea Level Rise
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.
Air Pressure and Dent Pullers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.
