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.

In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

In this activity, learners explore how casts of fossilized bones are created and used to learn about dinosaurs. Learners make observations, draw diagrams and share their findings.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

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 craft their own model of a comet on a stick to make it fly around the room.

In this activity (page 7 of pdf), learners research tide pool ecosystems, and then create brochures that "advertise" these environments.

In this art-related activity, learners make a coin rubbing—a process similar to what archeologists may do with ancient artifacts. This activity can be used in connection with a history or art lesson.

In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

In this activity, learners will create their very own constellation.

In this archaeology meets art activity, learners make a mosaic and consider the ways in which art communicates.

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

In this design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

Using information from the My Place in Space lithograph, learners write and/or draw a postcard to friends and family as if they had gone beyond the interstellar boundary of our Solar System, into the

This activity generates learner excitement about light through the creation of a room-sized rainbow.

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 (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

In this activity about problem-solving, learners build a house for the Three Little Pigs using twenty straws and two index cards.
