Make Your Own Compass
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will make their very own working compass.
Carbon Dioxide Removal
Source Institutions
In this experiment using sprigs of Elodea, learners will observe a natural process that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from Earth's atmosphere.
Understanding Albedo
Source Institutions
In this activity related to climate change, learners examine albedo and the ice albedo feedback effect as it relates to snow, ice, and the likely results of reduced snow and ice cover on global temper
Foam Tower
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides), learners will whip up some suds with a cup of water and a tablespoon of dish soap until the bubbles are stiff enough to star
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.
Crystal Gardens
Source Institutions
In this activity, which requires adult supervision, learners get to explore the awesome power of chemistry.
Water Quality and pH Levels in Aquatic Ecosystems
Source Institutions
In this fun and in depth hands-on experiment, learners test various liquid samples (distilled water, lemon juice, vinegar, and baking soda mixed with water) to determine their pH levels and identify e
Getting Windy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create and understand surface currents. Learners create example surface currents and discover how landmasses affect the current.
Corals and Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is changing the acidity (pH) of the ocean and affecting coral reefs and other marin
Weather Stations: Phase Change
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.
Trash Traits
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.
Under Pressure
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.
Make a Terrarium
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.
Effects of Solar Radiation on Land and Sea
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.
Disappearing Statues
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.
Wave on Wave
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use raisins and seltzer water to understand why waves don’t move objects forward. Learners conduct two simple experiments to understand the circular movement of waves.
Using Solar Energy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.
A Degrading Experience
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.
Submersibles and Marshmallows
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.
Water Underground
Source Institutions
Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.
