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

This activity models the mass coral spawning event that takes place at Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary every August.

In this activity, learners complete a series of drawing activities to explore scale and powers of 10. Learners first trace each other on 1-meter-square pieces of paper.

Learners estimate how many small triangles will fill a larger shape. Then they use a triangle stamp (or stencil made from a file folder) to fill the larger shape with triangles.

Birds' beaks are designed to allow birds to get the most of whatever food they need. In this activity, learners get an idea of how different beak shapes suit different food sources.

In this two-part activity, learners compare and contrast a variety of life cycles to better understand different organisms and how they develop.

In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.
