Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has developed various means to remove impurities from water.

In this activity, one person acts as a human robot while another acts as their developer by programming their actions.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

"Exploring the Solar System: Craters" is an active, hands-on activity that demonstrates how craters form, and what they can teach us about the history and composition of planets and moons.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Sailboat Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization.

In this activity, learners design a device to solve a problem: how to get a ball out of a drain pipe.

In this math lesson, learners are given 15 chips and a number line labeled from 2-12.

In this activity, learners identify the DNA base bars guanine, cytosine, thymine and adenine. Learners create a DNA model using colored paper clips to resemble these base pairs.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, explore the unique molecular structure and conductive nature of graphene. Learners construct a circuit with a battery and LED bulb.

In this activity, learners design a scientific exploration mission to a planet or moon of their choice.

In this activity, learners use simple tools to build a bookshelf with a built-in bookend.

Learners observe and compare the sizes of three toy “growing” crocodiles made from water-absorbent polymers. One is it its original state, dry, hard, and about 10cm long.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.

In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

Learners see that a can of regular cola sinks while a can of diet cola floats. As a demonstration, bubble wrap is taped to the can of regular cola to make it float.

This activity (on pages 19-24) introduces learners to the rain forest's layers—emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor—and has learners make paper lianas (vines that live attached to trees) and

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners explore surface tension by adding pennies to cups which are "full" of plain water or soapy water.

This activity models the mass coral spawning event that takes place at Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary every August.
