This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

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

This activity explores the basic workings of a siphon, which is the core technology that makes toilets work.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics) is a full inquiry investigation into how hairs from a crime scene are matched to suspects.

In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

Students design and build their own parachutes in this hands-on engineering project.

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly.

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs), learners will model how paleontologists estimate the age of fossil discoveries by extracting “fossil” playing cards from newspa

Scientists use enormous wind tunnels to test the design of planes, helicopters, even the Space Shuttle.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

In this activity, learners are introduced to tree rings by examining a cross section of a tree, also known as a “tree cookie.” They discover how tree age can be determined by studying the rings and ho

This activity (on pages 38-43) has learners simulate the way scientists track and map the movement of otters in the wild using radio trackers.

In this lesson, learners will understand the concepts behind endangered and extinct animals and develop their own conservation plan to save three endangered species.

MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.
