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

In this multi-part activity learners examine non-point water pollution.

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.

This simple, yet surprising physics demonstration challenges preconceptions about forces, and demonstrates the strength of atmospheric pressure.

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 2), pairs of learners create an imaginary crime scene. One person leaves the room while the other person moves a few things around.

In this activity, learners will be introduced to citizen science projects that can be done from home.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a handkerchief holds water in an upside-down glass.

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 online activity about heart disease, learners will pick one of three patients (based on actual patient histories) and help a cardiologist diagnose and prescribe treatments for him or her.

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

This is an online game that explores speed, range and momentum. Learners will pick the winners in a 16-team tournament in 3 events: Tug-o-war, sprint, and marathon.

In this activity, learners will investigate how shorebirds and seabirds are extremely vulnerable to changes in their environment, whether human-induced or otherwise.

In this online interactive, learners use fossils to infer temperatures 55 million years ago, at the sites where the fossils were found.

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

Learners work in teams to investigate how scientists use physical characteristics to classify living things.

In this online activity, learners use a realistic mass and spring laboratory. They hang masses from springs and adjust the spring stiffness and damping.

In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.

In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another
