In this activity, learners explore water pressure by conducting an experiment with a garden hose. Learners build a testing apparatus and create PVC nozzles with different sized holes.

In this activity, learners discover the importance of maps and scale as they work together to create a map of the classroom.

This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.

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 outdoor activity and game, learners collect and sort leaf samples to determine how many types of plants grow in the activity site.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Luge Activity), learners will construct a model hovercraft out of an empty spool and a piece of cardboard.

In this graphing exercise (page 2 of the pdf), learners compare their own height to the length of various sharks.

In this hands-on and feet-on excursion, learners take a science walk to visualize the planet's immense size and numerous structures, without the usual scale and ratio dimensions found in most textbook

This activity uses a special paper that can create images with exposure to the Sun. Collect objects of different shapes and sizes and use them to make interesting patterns on your sun print.

In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

In this activity, learners model, on a human-sized board game, how changes in water temperature may affect fish distributions and, ultimately, fisheries.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity), learners will use food cans of many different properties (sizes, shapes, and weights) and set two cans on their sides at

This investigation provides learners with a hands-on activity that simulates the changing relationship of surface areas-to-volume for a growing cell.

Learners draw and cut out shapes of organs from construction paper. Then they attach these organs to the body of one learner to make a life-sized map of all the internal organs.

Learners explore the relationship between energy consumption, population, and carbon emissions in the countries of the Americas.

In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.

In this activity, learners investigate how geometry plays a role in perspective.

Learners observe projectile motion by launching wooden balls off of a table top. They set up a rubber-band launcher so that each ball experiences a consistent amount of force.

In this activity, learners make a scale model of the Solar System and learn the real definition of "space." Learners use the online calculator to create an appropriate scale to use as a basis for thei

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.
