In this activity, learners create their own constellations and star patterns and write a short, descriptive story explaining the significance of their star pattern/constellation.

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 simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this activity, learners explore how casts of fossilized bones are created and used to learn about dinosaurs. Learners make observations, draw diagrams and share their findings.

In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

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

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

In this activity about problem-solving, learners build a house for the Three Little Pigs using twenty straws and two index cards.

In this activity, pairs of learners model how scientists use craters to determine the ages of lunar surfaces. One partner keeps time while the other creates a painting for the other to interpret.

In this activity (page 7 of pdf), learners research tide pool ecosystems, and then create brochures that "advertise" these environments.

In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

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

Learners draw comic-style pictures to show the water cycle. From a starting picture, one learner draws what happens to the water in the next panel, then passes the comic strip to another learner.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

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

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

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.
