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.

This marine biology activity (on pages 11-17) introduces learners to kelp (seaweed) forests that grow in the ocean and are home to many species of sea animals.

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

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

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, learners compare the ways of life of Plains Native Americans who hunted and moved frequently to follow the buffalo herds, and Native Americans who farmed and lived in more permanent

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

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

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 experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

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.

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

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

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.

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making cast models of a T. rex. First, learners read about and research how dinosaur fossils form.

In this activity (page 4 of the pdf), learners build a model of a tide pool, using chicken wire, paper mache, and other craft materials.

In this activity, learners use objects they find on a nature and water to make creative frozen sculptures.

In this hands-on art and science activity (page 4 of the pdf), learners brainstorm and discuss how humans use wetlands, then express their understanding of the subject in artwork.
