In this activity, learners discover how geologists use stratigraphy, the study of layered rock, to understand the sequence of geological events.

In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

In this hands-on and feet-on excursion, learners take a science walk to visualize the planet's immense size and numerous structures, without the usual scale and ratio dimensions found in most textbook

This activity encourages visitors to build an electroscope—a simplified version of one of the tools scientists use to study the invisible forces on Earth and in space.

In this geology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners simulate an earthquake with little more than an elastic band and drinking straws.

Based on color photographic images, learners compare geological features on Earth and Mars to understand similarities and differences between the two planets, and consider the forces that created land

In this activity, learners use sand and ice cubes to create a model of permafrost and the effects of the ice melting through the surface.

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.
