In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

In this math activity (Page 14 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "basketball" and analyze the results of the game.

In this activity (18th on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about composites, materials made of 2 or more different components.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Extreme Sounds) is a full inquiry investigation into sound.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

In this activity (on page 134 of the PDF), learners explore reaction time.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

In this interdisciplinary activity, learners create a Space Weather Action Center (SWAC) to monitor solar storms and develop real SWAC news reports.

In this activity, "write" a secret message in genetic code as beads on a string.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this activity, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.

In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners visualize the relative size and structural differences between microbes that have the potential to cause disease.

In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

In this activity, learners explore scale by using building cubes to see how changing the length, width, and height of a three-dimensional object affects its surface area and its volume.

By making models of light waves with paper, learners can understand why different colors appear in bubbles.
