In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity, learners cut out and fold their own collapsible origami starshade, an invention that shields a telescope's camera lens from the light of a distant star so that NASA scientists can ex

Learners use simple materials to construct a model the Big Dipper. Learners hang the model from a doorway or ceiling and look up at it to see the constellation as seen from Earth.

In this activity, learners simulate a multistage rocket launch using party balloons, fishing line, straws, and a plastic cup.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with a bucket, stretchy fabric, marbles, and weights to discover some basics about gravity.

In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish), learners will build a simple Cartesian Diver in an empty 2-liter bottle.

En esta actividad, Mateo y Cientina enseñan a usar modelos para ver las causas de las fases lunares.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of magnetic fields by inserting a small, strong magnet into a sphere.

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how some desert birds keep their cool.

In this activity, learners use sand and ice cubes to create a model of permafrost and the effects of the ice melting through the surface.

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

Some bugs can walk on the surface of a lake, stream, river, pond or ocean.

In this activity, learners use candy pieces and a cookie to make an accurate model of the Sun they can eat. Parts of the delicious model include solar granules, sunspots, and solar prominences.

In this activity, learners build a paper model of the spacecraft and photometer (telescope) used during NASA's Kepler Mission.

This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the composition of unseen materials using a variety of tools.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.

In this activity, learners model how the Moon's volcanic period reshaped its earlier features.
