In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate the effect of the weight of air over our heads.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into tree growth rates.

In this activity about archaeology, learners will explore different Egyptian hieroglyphs and recognize their meanings and uses.

In this activity, learners graph 48 hourly air temperatures from a local weather observation site and observe the diurnal temperature variations.

Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity of a given habitat.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this demonstration about force and motion, learners will explore the forces that affect a pendulum A simple model pendulum comprised of a ball and string demonstrates how pendulums work as well as

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.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

Learners work in pairs to design, construct, and test a device that exhibits positive, neutral, and negative buoyancy. They test a number of different objects in water to see if they sink or float.

In this game, learners match descriptions of marine debris (shoes, batteries, paper towels, etc.) to images of these items.

Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.

“Exploring Earth: Rising Sea” is a hands-on activity demonstrating ways to use topographical mapping techniques to track changes in sea level. The activity is connected to current NASA research.

In this collaborative storytelling activity, learners and caregivers develop a strong story about science and exploration.

In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.
