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

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

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

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

In this activity, learners build a simple solar oven out of household materials to melt chocolate and marshmallow between graham crackers--known as s'mores.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

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

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

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

In this activity, learners will make a model rocket to test the phrase "what goes up must come down." Learners will power their rockets with air pressure, and soon discover the effects of air resistan

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

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 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
