In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this activity, learners discover how to determine the distance to a lightning strike or nearby thunderstorm.

In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

In this activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.

In this nighttime, outdoor activity, learners keep a record of what they see in the sky by drawing constellations, the Moon, and making note of the weather and conditions each day.

This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon?

Learners investigate the concept of humidity by using a dry and wet sponge as a model. They determine a model for 100% humidity, a sponge saturated with water.

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

In this activity, learners model erosion using a clear shoebox and sand or soil.

In this two-part lesson, learners discover how large bodies of water can serve as a heat source or sink at different times and how proximity to water moderates climate along the coast.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners set up a simple experiment to find out how sunscreen counteracts the effects of the sun.

In this activity, learners discover how the extent of various wind speeds changes in each of the four quadrants around a hurricane.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

In this activity related to climate change and data analysis, learners examine temperature and precipitation data to determine if climate variations are due to El Niño.

In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

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.

In this on site "field trip" activity (located on pages 6-9 of PDF), learners get hands-on experience identifying building materials by playing "Building Bingo".
