The Geophysical Light/Dark Cycle
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.
Glaciers
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.
I Like to Move-It
Source Institutions
This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.
Underwater ROV
Source Institutions
In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).
Cup Sailing Game
Source Institutions
In this online Flash game, learners will captain a sailing challenge, adjusting boat direction and sails, seeking the way to take greatest advantage of varying wind speeds and directions to catch the
Salts & Solubility
Source Institutions
In this online interactive simulation, learners will add different salts to water and then watch the salts dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate.
Star Search
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners can test their skills at finding constellations in the northern hemisphere's night sky.
Jump for the Moon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to increase bone strength and to improve heart and other muscle endurance by performing jump training with a rope, both while stationary and moving.
Shape it Up
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners see simulations of how processes shape the Earth, and see estimates of how long these processes take.
Build a Soundscape
Source Institutions
This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.
What Causes Pressure?
Source Institutions
In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.
Base Station Walk-Back
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to improve lung, heart, and other muscle endurance as they walk a progressive, measured distance.
The Great Balloon Race
Source Institutions
In this online Flash game, learners take to the skies in a hot air balloon and are challenged to beat other balloonists' times to the finish line without crashing.
Sound Representation: Modems Unplugged
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners listen to songs and decode hidden messages based on the same principle as a modem. As a final challenge, learners decode the binary messages in a music video.
The Best Dam Simulation Ever
Source Institutions
This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.
Do a Spacewalk!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners train to increase muscular strength and improve upper and lower body coordination by performing the “bear crawl” and the "crab walk.” Learners perform the exercises over tim
Bet the Farm
Source Institutions
This is an online game about the complexities of farming. Learners will "draw" cards and make decisions about how to take care of their farm.
Crew Strength Training
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to develop upper and lower body strength in their muscles and bones by performing body-weight squats and push-ups.
Counting Your Lucky Stars
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners sample a star field to estimate the number of stars in the universe.
Masses & Springs
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners use a realistic mass and spring laboratory. They hang masses from springs and adjust the spring stiffness and damping.
