This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into mapping the underground “plumbing” of geysers.

In this activity, learners make a flip book that shows the progression of two solar events on reversible sides of the flip book.

Learners will explore the scientific mystery behind a disappearing group of trees by examining data and attempting to explain the decline.

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

Professor John Endler traveled to Trinidad in the 1970s to study wild guppies. In this activity, learners take part in an online simulation of Endler's work.

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

In this creativity-based activity, learners imagine what the Earth will look like in the near and distant future, then design their own future habitat and creatures that may live there.

In this math lesson, learners practice reading charts and graphs by creating and interpreting glyphs.

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 calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.

This is a quick activity that shows how large amounts of rock and sediment are added to the edge of continents during subduction.

In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.
