Mermaid's Purse
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of pdf), learners craft a model of a skate egg case and come to understand that cartilaginous fish such as sharks and shakes employ reproductive strategies that differ from th
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.
Plankton Feeding
Source Institutions
This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.
Modeling the Night Sky
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.
Plants: Hanging Tough
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners will become familiar with the special adaptations of rainforest plants and discover the conditions needed for tropical trees to survive along with what can impinge
To Topo Two
Source Institutions
In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).
Leaves: Designing Leaf Arrangements on a Branch
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners investigate the functional design of leaves on a tree.
Build a Coral Polyp
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.
Wonderful Weather
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.
Plant Piping
Source Institutions
Learners build models to learn about the special cells and structures that plants use to move water from their roots up through the stems and leaves.
Candy Chemosynthesis
Source Institutions
In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.
Wetland Filter Model
Source Institutions
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.
Mini Glacier Meltdown
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation about the different causes of glacial melt.
A Hole in the Ground
Source Institutions
Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.
Modeling Tidal Action
Source Institutions
In this activity (Lesson 1), learners work in groups to create tide simulations.
Moving Model Glacier
Source Institutions
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.
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.
Invent a Plant
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.
Fossil Age Estimation Model
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs), learners will model how paleontologists estimate the age of fossil discoveries by extracting “fossil” playing cards from newspa
Building a Community From the Ground Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, a group of learners work collaboratively to design and construct a paper model showing the evolution of an environment through multiple stages, from prehistory through the modern cit
