In this activity, learners will simulate the interactions between a predator population of gray wolves and a prey population of deer in a forest.

In this activity, learners play a simple card game to learn the sequence of events in the transmission of nervous system signals.

In this math puzzle game, learners work together to use algebraic reasoning and fun clues for solving word puzzles.

Learners test their "light-smarts" by playing a game called "Light Quest!" The game board represents an atom and each player represents an electron that has been bumped into the atom's outer unstable

In this activity, the learner will explore hand eye coordination while using a variation of the ball and cup game.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.

In this activity, learners explore and compare the buoyant properties of materials found in nature and in human-made materials.

In this activity, learners follow clues to find five puzzle pieces, then assemble them. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify matching pairs of objects hidden in bags. Learners can also play this game with partners.

In this math game, learners throw dice and place the numbers in one of four boxes. Learners repeat this three more times and the learner with the largest four digit numbers is the winner.

In this activity, some learners pretend to be wolves, while the other learners pretend to be the prey of the wolf. The goal of the simulation is to have the wolves work together to survive.

In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of flight by making a gliding contraption with strange looking wings. The activity explores flight with connections to the natural world.

This activity (on pages 21-32 of PDF) has learners act out several classic brain teasers.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the value of supernovae in the universe.

What keeps bubbles and other things, like airplanes, floating or flying in the air?

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

This activity focuses on interactions within Earth systems and the effects of human activities. In this activity learners build a biomass pyramid.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

How do you measure a bubble when it's floating? You can't really, but in this activity, learners can measure the diameter of the ring of suds a bubble leaves on a flat surface.
