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.
Space Stations: Sponge Spool Spine
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).
Fossils: Observing, Making and Learning
Source Institutions
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.
Positive Planning Adds Up
Source Institutions
In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.
Habitat Adaptation Matchup
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in small groups to match various marine animals with their different environments.
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.
Our Beautiful World
Source Institutions
In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners go on a nature walk outside and describe what they observe using their senses.
Exploring Strange New Worlds
Source Institutions
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.
Exploring Shadows
Source Institutions
This activity guide features three related explorations to help learners ages 3-6 investigate shadows via the following science concepts: A shadow is made when an object blocks the light; you can chan
Cloud Fun
Source Institutions
Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.
Clay Exploration
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.
Folding Matters
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.
Kites
Source Institutions
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.
Piecing It All Together
Source Institutions
Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".
Disappearing Statues
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.
Moon's Long History: Impact Paintings
Source Institutions
In this activity, pairs of learners model how scientists use craters to determine the ages of lunar surfaces. One partner keeps time while the other creates a painting for the other to interpret.
Dinosaur Interaction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.
Wet Art
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.
Plankton Races
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.
