Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a soil and water model of a single-cell life environment and study living microorganisms.

Make a Terrarium
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

Traveling Nanoparticles Model
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.

Reason for the Seasons
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 6 of the PDF), learners plot the path of the sun's apparent movement across the sky on two days, with the second day occurring two or three months after the first.

Mountains in the Sea
Source Institutions
In this 6-7 day investigation, learners begin with an introduction to seamounts that are present in the Gulf of Alaska.

Solar Water Heater
Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

FlyBy Math: Distance-Rate-Time Problems in Air Traffic Control
Source Institutions
In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

Saguaro Nest Cavities
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how some desert birds keep their cool.

Weathering and Erosion
Source Institutions
In this multi-station lab, learners conduct a series of experiments to explore the processes and effects of weathering and erosion.

Lift Off!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.
