Activities

All About Ice
The All About Ice suite of activities sets the stage for Explore Ice Worlds: On Earth and Beyond! Children investigate ice, learn about it properties, and explore how it can change states to a liquid or a gas. Through hands-on experiences, they observe ice, find its melting and freezing point, and learn about some of its unique properties, including that ice, the solid phase of water, is less dense than the liquid!

Ice in the Solar System
Ice in the Solar System offers activities that investigate the who, what, where, why, and how of exploring ice in the solar system. Children examine different types of ices, discover on what planets and moons they exist, and learn about the scientists exploring these ice worlds!

Ice on Earth
Ice on Earth activities investigate where ice is on Earth, how important ice is to our planet's climate, what changes in polar ice could mean for our future, and, finally, what children and their families can do to help mitigate those changes.
