In this math-based activity, learners will experiment to find how height and angle affect spatter and then use this knowledge to solve a crime.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

In this math activity related to light, learners explore why a light, such as a candle or a streetlight, looks dimmer the farther away from it we get.

In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.

In this life science activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore the carbon cycle by mixing yeast, sugar and water.

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

In this activity (page 7 of PDF), learners will identify the general two-dimensional geometric shape of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater.

In this activity (page 10 of PDF), learners approximate the area of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater using a variety of square grids.

In this math lesson, learners learn how to construct stem and leaf plots. Learners first estimate the number of drops of water that will fit on the head of a penny.

In this activity (page 23 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to determine how the size and mass of a projectile affects the area and the volume of an impact crater.

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

In this activity (on page 6 of the PDF), learners plot the path of the sun's apparent movement across the sky on two days, with the second day occurring two or three months after the first.

In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

In this math lesson, learners determine and compare the rate of descent of various learner-constructed parachutes. Learners construct parachutes that will have maximum hang times.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.
