In this activity, learners investigate the formation of craters. Learners will examine how the size, angle and speed of a meteorite's impact affects the properties of craters.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and a dig site. Learners work in groups to analyze a dig site map and match bones to a skeletal drawing of Kelsey (a Triceratops).

In this activity, learners explore how dinosaurs are named and what their names mean. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

Ancient trash tells archaeologists a lot about the past. In this activity, learners take a close look inside their trash can and think about the clues it offers about their lives.

In this activity (on pages 22-24 of the PDF), learners match extreme enviroments with life forms they support.

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.

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

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

In this activity about humans and space travel (page 1 of PDF), learners compare and contrast the behavior of a water-filled plastic bag, both outside and inside of a container of water.

In this activity (located on page 9 of the PDF), learners are introduced to Aesop's fable, "The Crow and the Pitcher." In the story, a clever crow drops pebbles into a pitcher to cause the water level

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 archaeology-related activity, learners build their own time capsule and choose a storage location and a date to reopen it.

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

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

In this activity, learners explore how hot and cold water move. Learners observe that temperature and density affect how liquids rise and fall.

In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.
