Rocks are made of minerals, and minerals often have crystal shapes. In this fun activity about geometry in nature, learners create their own crystal shapes out of paper.

In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

In this activity, learners create their own constellations and star patterns and write a short, descriptive story explaining the significance of their star pattern/constellation.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.

This activity has three story puzzles learners can solve to learn about life in the Arctic.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

In this activity about problem-solving, learners build a house for the Three Little Pigs using twenty straws and two index cards.

In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

In this art-related activity, learners make a coin rubbing—a process similar to what archeologists may do with ancient artifacts. This activity can be used in connection with a history or art lesson.

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

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

Learners build 3D representations of constellations, which show not just the position of the stars as seen from Earth but also their relative distance from Earth.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.
