In this outdoor activity, learners will gather natural materials outside that they think a dinosaur would want to lay its eggs in.

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 on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

In this quick activity, learners use a toaster to investigate the source for the Earth's wind. Learners hold a pinwheel above a toaster to discover that rising heat causes wind.

In this earth science activity, learners conduct a series of short experiments to explore how rocks change.

In this activity, learners explore how distance can affect the way we perceive the size of an object.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making cast models of a T. rex. First, learners read about and research how dinosaur fossils form.

In this activity, learners explore in what ways the shape of the land and the pull of gravity influence how water moves over Earth.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaurs and fossils by creating a diorama.

Learners will explore the concept of angular distance, and investigate why the moon appears to be the same size as the sun during a solar eclipse, despite the sun being much larger.

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

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

In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.

In this interactive board game, learners "hire" different types of scientists to help canine character Ruff Ruffman solve unusual problems.

This hands-on astronomy activity lets learners hunt for different objects in the night sky that contribute to stellar and planetary formation, using a Treasure List.

In this activity (page 4 of the pdf), learners build a model of a tide pool, using chicken wire, paper mache, and other craft materials.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this activity, learners use objects they find on a nature and water to make creative frozen sculptures.

In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.
