In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this fun, hands-on autumn activity, learners experiment to discover whether the colored substances in leaves can be separated from the leaves.

In this four-part activity, learners will discover the exciting world of light--the most important form of energy in our world--and be able to identify and describe different types of light.

In this oceanography and data collection activity, learners cast real time sea state conditions using buoys from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this hands-on activity, learners investigate the functional design of leaves on a tree.

In this data collection and analysis activity, learners evaluate fish physiology and ecology using vision research data from Dr.

In this outdoor, night-time activity, learners discover how to spot eye-shine (reflection of light from an animal's eyes) by using a flashlight to play a simulation game.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners use chromatography to separate and identify pigments within various leaves.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how passive solar design increases energy efficiency.

In this activity, learners use tsunami time travel maps to predict how long it will take a tsunami to reach the shore.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.

In this activity, learners will listen to as many radio stations as possible to discover that AM radio signals can travel many hundreds of miles at night.

In this activity, learners simulate the separation techniques that materials recovery facilities (MRFs) use and then design their own series of recycling techniques.
