In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

In this activity, learners explore what makes a boat float and sink. They examine and test various objects to determine why objects float or sink.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

In this design challenge activity, learners use two helium-filled balloons to build a blimp that can travel in a straight path across the room.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS Wetlands Activity), learners will model how wetlands act as natural filters for the environment.

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

In this activity, learners create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure.

In this activity about human anatomy (page 16 of PDF), learners construct a model arm and discover how muscles and bones work together to achieve efficient movement.

In this activity, learners observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color and temperature -- basic concepts of matter and energy.

Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.

In this activity (Lesson 1), learners work in groups to create tide simulations.

In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.

In this goopy activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will model glacial movement with “gak,” a white glue and liquid starch mixture.

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

In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

In this activity, learners create virus models, including nucleic acid and proteins, using simple materials. This resource includes information about virus structure and gene therapy.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.
