In this activity, learners use candy pieces and a cookie to make an accurate model of the Sun they can eat. Parts of the delicious model include solar granules, sunspots, and solar prominences.

In this activity, learners build a paper model of the spacecraft and photometer (telescope) used during NASA's Kepler Mission.

Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.

This activity (on pages 13-18) has learners build a model tree and then figure out how to make their tree stand up by itself.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the composition of unseen materials using a variety of tools.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.

In this activity, learners model how the Moon's volcanic period reshaped its earlier features.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

In this activity, learners help create and then navigate an outdoor course of the traditional "planets" (including dwarf planet Pluto), which are represented by small common objects.

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.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about how the arrangement of carbon atoms determines carbon's different properties.

Albert Einstein proved that space bends around anything that has mass. This activity uses Jell-O's ability to bend around objects as a model for space bending around planets and stars.

In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

Water on Earth is in lakes, the ocean, rivers, underground, and frozen glaciers.

In this playful activity, learners explore the structure of the cell—the basic unit of every living organism—by creating a model of cell structures using soap bubbles, and by examining a slice of onio

In this math lesson, learners design an experiment to model a leaky faucet and determine the amount of water wasted due to the leak.
