In this activity, learners see how many coins they can add to a full glass of water before the water overflows.

In this activity, learners plan and create a 24-foot long, two-dimensional model of our solar system, and compare and contrast the differences between planets and the sun.

In this activity, learners build their own magnetometer using an empty soda bottle, magnets, laser pointer, and household objects.

In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

Learners test two jars containing hot water, one covered with plastic and one open, for changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners build a simple pinhole viewer. They use this apparatus to project images from a variety of light sources, including a candle, the Sun, and the Moon.

In this archaeology activity, learners make observations and conduct an experiment to demonstrate the effect saltwater has on artifacts.

In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

In this activity, learners map their world by drawing a plan of their bedroom.

In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

In this math activity, based on the research of famed astronomer Frank Drake, learners calculate the possibilities of finding intelligent life elsewhere in the universe besides Earth.

This kinesthetic science demonstration introduces learners to four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to simulate the effect of X-rays in a safe way. Learners place a piece of window screen over a box and a cardboard pattern on top of the screen.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.

In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

This activity (on pages 23-27) lets learners simulate the work of scientists who take core samples of Earth's rocky layers to determine geological history.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.
