In this outdoor activity, learners will gather natural materials outside that they think a dinosaur would want to lay its eggs in.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

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

In this quick activity, learners use a toaster to investigate the source for the Earth's wind. Learners hold a pinwheel above a toaster to discover that rising heat causes wind.

In "Exploring the Solar System: Stomp Rockets," participants learn about how some rockets carry science tools—not scientists—into space, and how a special kind of rocket called "sounding rockets" can

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners conduct some quick and easy tests to determine the differences between water and other liquids that look very similar to water.

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

In this activity about humans and space travel (page 1 of PDF), learners compare and contrast the behavior of a water-filled plastic bag, both outside and inside of a container of water.
