In this activity, learners use objects they find on a nature and water to make creative frozen sculptures.

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this activity, learners will build a model of a nebula using cotton balls and colored water. Astronomers photograph nebulas and add colors to provide information about the nebula's composition.

In this activity, learners make flipbooks of drawings showing the progression of a Total Solar Eclipse.

In this activity, learners discover how artists start with a skeleton and turn it into a realistic drawing of a dinosaur.

In this design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

In this activity, pairs of learners model how scientists use craters to determine the ages of lunar surfaces. One partner keeps time while the other creates a painting for the other to interpret.

In this game, learners cutout a model black hole "cone" and attempt to roll around a marble or other small spherical object without touching the event horizon.

Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en línea, en libros de consulta, y en calendarios y almanaques.

In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

In this hands-on activity, learners simulate the crashing and smashing of a meteor impact using household cooking supplies.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

This activity generates learner excitement about light through the creation of a room-sized rainbow.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

The Sacred Cenote at Chichén Itzá is a sink hole, or well, containing groundwater. In this activity, learners create their own cenote using chalk, limestone, acids, and rain water.

In this activity, learners design a flag for a chosen or assigned planet. The instructions include information about flags on Earth, and a list of flag references.

In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).
