Historically, sea floor mapping (bathymetry) was done by soundings.

In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.

In this activity, learners mimic remote sensing. Learners use a stick to measure the distance to a "planet surface" they cannot see, and create their own map of the landscape.

In this activity, learners investigate the formation of craters. Learners will examine how the size, angle and speed of a meteorite's impact affects the properties of craters.

In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

In this activity (on pages 6-11), learners work as a team to investigate how impact craters on Earth, the Moon or other planets take shape and what patterns they make.

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

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 discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.

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.
