Showing Results for earths layers

This science fair project idea researches the different layers of the atmosphere and creates a visual representation of the atmospheric layers.

Use dirt and different colors of craft sand to make unique layers in a clear plastic cup to represent the layers of the Earth.

Turn an abstract lesson into a practical craft with the fun and colorful creation of dough earth layers!

In this science fair project, students discover how sedimentary layers form as sediments like mud, silt and sand settle over time.

Learn about the layers of the Earth and make a model! Create a earth layer book, cake, or clay diagram.

It's a rare kid who doesn't like a sandbox. Next time you're out digging, build in some earth science, too.

In this cool project, create a lighted, scale model of the different layers of the Sun, including the core, radiation and convection zones, and photosphere.

Kids will make a beautiful rainbow in a jar and learn what enables different types of liquids to remain distinct in separate layers.

In this project, create and examine garden mulch to find out what critters live in the messy, muddy layers just above the soil.

Soil is made up of different layers. How far down do you need to dig to find the soil horizon, or the place where bits of leaves and branches become soil?

In this science fair project, students learn how pressure can make the minerals in a rock line up in the same direction and form bands and foliation.

Use simple materials to build a "worm hotel" with your kindergarten soil scientist...and see what worms really do all day.

Did you even wonder why some rocks are round and smooth while others are broken up into small pieces?

Science fair project that identifies the differences between soils from different environments and attempts to figure out why those differences exist.

In this science fair project, students create their own miniature salt flats at home.

This project compares the strength of one, two, and three-ply toilet paper.

Take a closer look at the soil that surrounds us, and give your child a lesson in Geology 101!

Teach your child some scientific basics as you explore the densities of various liquids in this fun experiment.

Science fair project that helps you better understand density by comparing the relative densities of cans of Coke and Diet Coke.

Determine which kind of rock (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic) has the greatest reservoir capacity, which is the ability to hold the most oil and natural gas.

This surprisingly good glue recipe comes from common kitchen items.

In this project combining nature, art, math, and science, children make rubbings of leaves then observe shapes and structures and sort the leaf images.

Bring the magic and mystery of the night sky to the light of day with this fun constellation art project!

In this insulation experiment, you'll learn which clothes keep you warm in the cold, and which make you shiver.

This science fair project idea explores the egg's thin membrane.

Here is a fun middle school science project on factors affecting solubility. Learn how dissolved solids can "crash out" to form crystals when conditions change.

Wiggly worms are known for staying buried in the soil, but how does that affect plants? Are earthworms and plant growth related?

The rock cycle will come alive for your child when he uses broken crayons to create the three basic rock types.

If your child aspires to be the next Frank Lloyd Wright, we've got some tips on building sand castles that last.

With some cookie dough and ordinary household objects, let your kindergartener explore how fossil imprints are made.
