In this activity, learners explore the physics of impact craters from their own backyard using mud. Learners are encouraged to match features of real impact craters to their models.

In this activity, learners observe the moon each night for a month and draw their observations in a Moon Watch Log.

In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.

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

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

In this activity, learners work in groups to build simple solar stills filled with salt water. After the stills are complete, learners observe what happens when they place the stills in the sun.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

In this activity, learners observe tide pool animals in a touch tank to consider how they survive.

In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.
