In this math lesson, learners apply mathematical modeling to solve a real-world storage problem, in which a manufacturing company is given two options for storing oil barrels.

Learners make their own simple slide rules out of paper and learn how they work.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

In this activity, learners explore the potential of interchangeable standard parts to create a large number of unique creations in different combinations.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this activity, learners build and play three math games. In the first game, called "Switcheroo," learners place marbles in holes 1 through 4 and 7 through 10.

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

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.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.
