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.

In this activity, learners will estimate the sizes of balls to learn how to estimate the size of hail. Learners will compare their estimates to the estimates of their peers and the real measurements.

In this collecting/comparing activity, learners work with samples of sand from different places like a lakefront, river, or ocean beach.

In this activity (on pages 13-16 of the PDF) learners investigate three mystery samples to see which one contains life. The three samples are sand, sand and yeast, and sand and antacid.

In this activity, learners work in small groups to match various marine animals with their different environments.

In this activity, learners explore how acids can dissolve eggshells leaving behind a membrane-covered bouncy egg.

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

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

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.

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.

In this activity, learners will investigate how craters are made and the different factors that contribute to size left from the impact.

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, 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.

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 hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

This activity (on pages 10-12 of the PDF) encourages learners to consider what makes living things different from non-living things.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

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