This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

In this activity, learners conduct a simulation exercise related to public key encryption and try to intercept a message sent between two learners.

In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.

Did you know that you would be a different age if you lived on Mars? It's true!

In this activity, learners discover how the extent of various wind speeds changes in each of the four quadrants around a hurricane.

In this activity on page 1 of the PDF, learners compare the relative sizes of biological objects (like DNA and bacteria) that can't be seen by the naked eye.

In this astronomy activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will compare and contrast two planets in the solar system using data obtained from the internet.

In this activity (3rd on the page), learners investigate circadian rhythms by examining how well people do with estimating time.

In this online activity, learners will brush up on their multiplication, division, and factoring skills with this exciting game.
