Paper Mache Dinosaurs
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 6 of PDF), learners observe and reproduce the distinctive physical features (i.e. plates, sharp spikes, long necks, deep jaws, claws) of their favorite dinosaurs.

Create a Coral Reef
Source Institutions
Educator Amy O'Donnell from the American Museum of Natural History guides learners to create a diorama of a coral reef.

Building a 3-D Space Maze: Escher Staircase
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

Kites
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

Waterhouse Hawkins and the Nano Dinosphere Museum
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaurs and fossils by creating a diorama.

Constellation Tubes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their very own constellation.

Rocket Mice
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make a model rocket to test the phrase "what goes up must come down." Learners will power their rockets with air pressure, and soon discover the effects of air resistan

DIY Pasta Rover
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

Kepler Paper Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a paper model of the spacecraft and photometer (telescope) used during NASA's Kepler Mission.

Crazy Camouflage
Source Institutions
In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.

Constellation Chamber
Source Institutions
Learners build 3D representations of constellations, which show not just the position of the stars as seen from Earth but also their relative distance from Earth.

Colors of Stars
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color and temperature -- basic concepts of matter and energy.

Be a Plumber
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

Fossil Dig Site
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

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

Make a Dinosaur Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

Wind Works!
Source Institutions
Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

Make a Dinosaur
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

Solar System on a Stick
Source Institutions
Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

Fossils: Observing, Making and Learning
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how casts of fossilized bones are created and used to learn about dinosaurs. Learners make observations, draw diagrams and share their findings.
