Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.

In this activity, learners use a microscope to examine three different microbes: bacteria, yeast and paramecia. Educator will need to prepare the yeast solution one day before the activity.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

Learners examine the manufacturing process while they make picture frames from cereal boxes.

In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

In this activity, learners follow simple directions to explore and create platonic solids.

In this lesson plan, learners examine some of the of greenhouse gas emissions sources in their community.

In this activity, learners test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.
