Rocks are made of minerals, and minerals often have crystal shapes. In this fun activity about geometry in nature, learners create their own crystal shapes out of paper.

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

In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

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

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

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

In this activity, learners explore dinosaurs and fossils by creating a diorama.

In this activity, learners explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.

In this activity, young learners explore the basic shapes of constellations by making their own scope out of a cardboard tube and paper with pinpricks.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

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.

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.

This marine biology activity (on pages 11-17) introduces learners to kelp (seaweed) forests that grow in the ocean and are home to many species of sea animals.
