In this activity related to indoor air pollution, learners build take-home dust catchers with wax paper and petroleum jelly.

Through a series of simple body movements, learners gain insight into the relationship between time and astronomical motions of Earth (rotation about its axis, and orbit around the Sun), and also abou

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

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

In this activity (on pages 6-11), learners work as a team to investigate how impact craters on Earth, the Moon or other planets take shape and what patterns they make.

In this two-part outdoor activity, learners conduct a population census of squirting clams on a beach or mudflat, and investigate the clams' natural history.

In this activity, learners build a simple solar oven out of household materials to melt chocolate and marshmallow between graham crackers--known as s'mores.

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, learners construct their own spectroscope as they explore and observe spectra from familiar light sources.

In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.

In this activity, (on page 6 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) learners participate in a hands-on fossil excavation.

Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.

In this multi-station lab, learners conduct a series of experiments to explore the processes and effects of weathering and erosion.

In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.
