Rocks are made of minerals, and minerals often have crystal shapes. In this fun activity about geometry in nature, learners create their own crystal shapes out of paper.

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 design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

This marine biology activity (on pages 11-17) introduces learners to kelp (seaweed) forests that grow in the ocean and are home to many species of sea animals.

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, learners will build a model of a nebula using cotton balls and colored water. Astronomers photograph nebulas and add colors to provide information about the nebula's composition.

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.

In this activity, learners explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.

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 design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

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

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

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

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