Fold a Crystal
Source Institutions
Rocks are made of minerals, and minerals often have crystal shapes. In this fun activity about geometry in nature, learners create their own crystal shapes out of paper.

Join the Dinosaur Age
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

Pinhole Viewer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

Make a Dinosaur Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

What is a Fossil?
Source Institutions
In this activity about dinosaurs, learners explore how and why fossils form. First, learners are introduced to dinosaur fossils by reading the book "Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones" by Byron Barton.

Building a 3-D Space Maze: Escher Staircase
Source Institutions
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

Dinosaur Interaction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

Underwater Hide and Seek
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

X-ray Dinosaurs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and skeletons. First, learners listen to "Tyrannosaurus Rex" by Daniel Cohen to learn about T. rex dinosaurs specifically.
Any Year Calendars
Source Institutions
This PDF contains 12 calendars (12 months). Each month contains activities about math. Things to do on familiar holidays (like July 4), less common holidays (like Backward Day), and any day.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

What is an Animal Group?
Source Institutions
In this activity related to dinosaurs, learners explore why animals live in families. Learners discuss and identify animals living in families or groups from images and photos.
Mission Insignia
Source Institutions
In this science/art activity, learners create an insignia or emblem for a planet exploration mission.

Building A Storm Drain
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.

Invent a Plant
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

Woodpecker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

Digging Deeper!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons and anatomy. Learners make observations about a T. rex skeleton diagram and then measure the skeleton length and width.

Colors of Stars
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color and temperature -- basic concepts of matter and energy.

Solar Flip Book
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a flip book that shows the progression of two solar events on reversible sides of the flip book.

Arctic Sea Ice
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.
