 Level: 4
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of performing a controlled experiment and how different variables affect the distance travelled by a stomp rocket.
  • Science

Sun! Power! Ice! Pop!

  • Energy
Grades:
  • K–5
 Level: 3
In this activity, students will assess solar power by comparing its effect on rain (water), sleet (ice), and snow (popsicles).
  • Science

Sun, Moon and Stars
