In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

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

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.

In this science/art activity, learners create an insignia or emblem for a planet exploration mission.

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

This quiz lets you estimate your annual radiation exposure.

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 activity, learners carry out a scientific investigation of dust in their classroom. Learners produce an analysis on graph paper of the dust they collect over the course of a few days.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.

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.

On an imaginary fossil hunt, learners "find" (remove from envelope) paper "fossils" of some unknown creature, only a few at a time.

In this activity, learners will explore trends in shark populations using shark landing data from the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Learners imagine they are paleontologists in Florida, where they find (remove from envelope) paper "fossils" of some unknown creature, only a few at a 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 field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.
