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

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Baby Dinosaurs Activity), learners will look for a relationship between skull size and body length among various dinosaurs.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.

In this activity, learners confront their perceptions of gravity in the solar system.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into tree growth rates.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity (on pages 10-17), learners discover how scientists study biodiversity and the health of the environment based on inspection of small areas—a process known as sampling.

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.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

Learners build models to learn about the special cells and structures that plants use to move water from their roots up through the stems and leaves.

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.
