Making Mosaics
Source Institutions
In this archaeology meets art activity, learners make a mosaic and consider the ways in which art communicates.
Investigating Convection
Source Institutions
This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

Sink or Float?
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.
Cycles in the Cards
Source Institutions
In this "game," learners explore and relate the evolution of stars to a Navajo creation story. The story is written on a series of cards, which are laid on a table as the story is told.

Underwater Hide and Seek
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

The Water Cycle
Source Institutions
Did you know that the water we use today is the same water found on Earth millions of years ago? The Earth constantly uses and recycles water in a process called the water cycle.

What Lives Here
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore an aquatic site such as a pond, lake, stream, river or seashore to find and investigate plants and animals that live in water.

Breathing Blue
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test exhaled breath for carbon dioxide and learn how to use an indicator as a simple way to measure pH.

Floating Butterfly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

Ocean in a Bottle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners consider how oil spills behave in the ocean and what impact they have on marine wildlife.

A Crayon Rock Cycle - Igneous
Source Institutions
This is part 3 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. Before starting this section, learners must have completed part 1: sedimentary rock and part 2: metamorphic rocks.
Why is the Sky Blue?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

Gravity and Falling
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with a bucket, stretchy fabric, marbles, and weights to discover some basics about gravity.

Human Impact on Estuaries: A Terrible Spill in Grand Bay
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of a pollution spill that occurred at Bangs Lake in Mississippi and measure water quality parameters in their model.

Electrostatic Water Attraction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a simple experiment to see how electrically charged things like plastic attract electrically neutral things like water.

Biomimicry Mash-Up
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

How Do We Find Planets Around Other Stars?
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity describes techniques scientists use to find planets orbiting other stars.

Postcards from Space
Source Institutions
Using information from the My Place in Space lithograph, learners write and/or draw a postcard to friends and family as if they had gone beyond the interstellar boundary of our Solar System, into the

Sing - Suchomimus Was His Name
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF), learners sing together a song that gives details about the dinosaur species Suchomimus (pronounced “Sook-o-mime-us”).
Drip Drop
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.
