Stories in the Sky
Source Institutions
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.

Touch the Spring (Lightbulb)
Source Institutions
In this activity, a lightbulb is placed in front of a concave mirror. The actual lightbulb is not visible to the viewer, but the viewer can see the mirror image of the lightbulb formed in space.

Bean Bugs
Source Institutions
In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

Going for a Spin: Making a Model Steam Turbine
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

Small Snails, Enormous Elephants
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

Life in a Nutshell
Source Institutions
In this multi-faceted game (on pages 25-35), learners recreate what happens to creatures in the Brazilian rain forest as they grow from egg to adult—especially those that use fallen, empty Brazil nut

Let's Dew It!
Source Institutions
From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

Newton Car
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

Biobarcodes: Antibodies and Nanosensors
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.

Model the Sun and Earth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

Traveling Nanoparticles Model
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.

Clay Beams and Columns
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

Tree Tally
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.

Investigating Ice Worlds
Source Institutions
In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

FlyBy Math: Distance-Rate-Time Problems in Air Traffic Control
Source Institutions
In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

Patterns and Relationships: Struts 'n Stuff
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners identify the relationship between the number of sides in a regular polygon and the number of struts needed to make each polygon rigid.

Terrestrial Hi-Lo Hunt
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

LEGO Robots
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GEMS Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into technology design and testing.

Introduction to the Scientific Method
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 26 of the PDF), learners make observations, formulate hypotheses and design a controlled experiment, based on the reaction of carbon dioxide with calcium hydroxide.

Trail Impact Study
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.
