In this activity, learners make "solar cookies," edible models of the Sun's outer layers using sugar cookies and toppings.

In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

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

In this activity, learners design a flag for a chosen or assigned planet. The instructions include information about flags on Earth, and a list of flag references.

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

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners create 3D models of the Earth, Moon and Sun to demonstrate solar and lunar eclipses.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.

In this activity, learners build a scale model of the solar system using a roll of toilet paper.

In this activity, learners make their own flip book that shows real solar flares erupting from the Sun in November 2000. Step-by-step instructions are included with photos.

Space Guess Quest is a fun game that encourages participants to identify the many types of objects in space, from human-made spacecraft to nebulas, galaxies, stars, and worlds.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

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

In this activity, learners work together to interpret an "alien message." The group pretends that this is the only message from an imaginary civilization, so there is no "key" and thus no "correct" wa

In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.
