In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

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

In this group activity, learners use some common objects and work together to simulate the Coriolis effect. During the challenge, learners make predictions and test different scenarios.

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

In this set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.

This is an outdoor activity designed to demonstrate evolution of feeding behavior in flocking, schooling or herding animals that maximizes allocation of food resources and enhances survival.

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

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

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 experience some of the challenges of "tele-operating" a robotic vehicle on another planet when they design and execute a series of commands to guide a human "rover" through

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.
