In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en línea, en libros de consulta, y en calendarios y almanaques.

This is a culminating activity which allows learners to summarize what they know about Woodlands Native Americans by creating illustrations and map symbols for a large outline map (see related Activit

In this activity, learners make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

This lesson familiarizes learners with the term "tropical belt." First, learners locate the equator, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn on a map and trace these lines with a crayon.

In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

“Exploring the Solar System: Pocket Solar System” is a hands-on activity in which visitors make a scale model of the distances between objects in our solar system.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this set of outdoor games, learners increase their awareness of the outdoor environment by going on a scavenger hunt and an out-of-place hunt.
