This investigation will help students learn that different geologic materials have different characteristics.

Doing this investigation will help learners understand how geoscientists identify and explore petroleum-rich reserves.

In this investigation, students make a simple model of how gasses can form from decaying material. They will also explore the effects of temperature on gas formation.

Students investigate how particle size and shape relate to the maximum slope angle the particles will maintain during a landslide.

Students investigate how particle size and shape relate to the maximum slope angle the particles will maintain during a landslide.

In this activity, students research a wilderness refuge near them or through online resources. They will investigate the history of a refuge and how indigenous people lived there long ago, as well as the lives of any descendants of these...

Investigate the subject of minerals including characteristics, properties such as luster and streak, types of minerals, and fun facts on this site.

In this investigation, students will have the opportunity to learn about the many geological features in our country's national parks.

In this science fair project, use a globe and a heat lamp to investigate how the angle of the Sun affects global warming. This project includes the objective, background questions, a list of all the materials you'll need, and the...

In this astronomy science fair project, investigate how the earth's axial tilt creates seasons. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction, followed by a section on...

Renewable energy is the energy that is extracted from natural sources, such the Sun (solar), earth (geothermal), wind, and water (hydropower). These sources are renewable because they can be replenished by the same natural sources within...

Students perform many inquiry activities related to Earth's orbit. Included are recording daily temperatures, observing the sun's path over several weeks, tracking sunrise and sunset times, and angle of sunlight. Diagrams make lessons...

In this lesson, students conduct heat transfer experiments to investigate why the Earth is still hot at its core, even after billions of years since its formation. They will learn that the rate of heat transfer is dependent on an...

In this activity, students investigate the life cycle of an engineered product and how the product impacts the environment. They analyze a product using a simple life cycle assessment that assigns fictional numerical values for different...

This activity will allow students to bury various pieces of trash in a plotted area of land outside. After approximately two to three months, the trash will be uncovered to allow the students to investigate what types of materials...

This lesson introduces the concepts of wavelength and amplitude in transverse waves. In the associated activity, young scholars will use ropes and their bodies to investigate different wavelengths and amplitudes.

Grab your science tools and explore with PBS KIDS. Through hands-on activities and exciting media that transports you to space and in the Earth, this collection will bring science to life in your classroom. These resources help students...

A collection of video articles about current events having to do with nature. Each video features a science topic in the news.

Investigate the science of volcanoes on the surface of the earth. Discover their types, hazards and effects.
