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 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 astronomy activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will examine the effects of gravity on a person’s pulse and explore how gravity can differ from planet to planet.

In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

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 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 data activity, learners will explore shipwrecks from four National Marine Sanctuaries on the West Coast of the United States.

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.

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

In this activity, learners will plot the distribution of various oozes using information from sediment maps.

Water, whether fresh or salty, serves as one of the best electrical conductors on the planet. Does salt effect its conductivity?

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

In this activity, learners conduct a simple experiment to see how electrically charged things like plastic attract electrically neutral things like water.

In this design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this activity, learners will determine if the frequency and intensity of hurricanes are changing using real data from the National Hurricane Center.
