Learners will explore the scientific mystery behind a disappearing group of trees by examining data and attempting to explain the decline.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have improved roofing designs and materials in order to protect the contents of buildings.

In this activity, learners will learn how igneous rock, metamorphic rock, and sedimentary rock are formed as part of the rock cycle and that the same forces that produce/change rocks also produce/chan

This detailed lesson plan for a field trip to Canyonlands National Park in Utah (page 32 of pdf) teaches students about the habitat of bighorn sheep.

In this activity, learners design, build, test and redesign a display tower that will meet a specific set of criteria and constraints.

In this activity about encryption, learners cut out a secret decoder badge from a handout and use it to encode messages to each other.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Self-Assembly Activity) about self-assembly, the ability of molecules to assemble themselves according to certain rules.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a mapping technique to become oriented to the major features of an outdoor site.

Learners experiment to see which colors of light will cause a phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) material to glow.

In this hands-on activity, learners use toothpicks to build different triangles and squares and then use the toothpicks to build and solve some tricky shape puzzles.
