In this activity, learners make "totally tubular" forms of carbon. Learners use chicken wire to build macro models of carbon nanotubes.

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 related to climate change, learners examine albedo and the ice albedo feedback effect as it relates to snow, ice, and the likely results of reduced snow and ice cover on global temper

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

In this activity, learners create virus models, including nucleic acid and proteins, using simple materials. This resource includes information about virus structure and gene therapy.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

In this activity, learners explore how genetic switches function and the role of genetic switches in the process of evolution.

In this activity, learners explore how the shapes, sizes, and distances of land masses appear differently on two different models of Earth: an icosahedron and a flat map.

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity, learners use colored candy to represent subatomic particles and make a model of an atom (Bohr model).
