Grades:
In this activity, students will 'become' water droplets and travel among the different storages of water.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will create their own insulating "ice chambers" and then test them against the models made by their classmates.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will analyze different types of soil.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will observe animals that evoke fear and then map out their role in a food web.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will assess solar power by comparing its effect on rain (water), sleet (ice), and snow (popsicles).
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will evaluate different 'before' and 'after' stations to decide if heating and cooling changes are reversible.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students use simple materials to produce and observe cloud formation.
- 6–8
Grades:
In this activity students will experiment with how far sound travels naturally, as compared to how far it travels with satellite amplification.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will compare two forces of energy on the motion, velocity, and direction of an object.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of the engineering design process by designing and observing different containers that slow down the process of heat transfer.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will learn about thermal energy.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of the physical characteristics and absorption of types of materials that make up soil.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will test and observe the bouncing properties of different types of balls (softball, basketball, golf ball, playground ball, volleyball, beach ball, ball of paper).
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, the teacher will create a large rain maker by pouring water over plastic wrap punched with holes over a foil tin.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will experiment with ice and water and evaluate how both can carry materials and change the formation of Earth's surface.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of how a simple hovercraft uses the forces of motion to move.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will explore the relationship between angles of incident and reflected light and use this relationship to design and test their own periscopes in a classroom competition.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will use classroom materials and wind energy to build and power a sailboat.
- K–5
