In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

Learners follow a three-step process to start their own rock collection.

This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.

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

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

In this activity, learners start their own field journal to better understand the wildlife in their area.

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

This exercise is designed to teach young learners the different parts of a plant (root, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds), the basic functions of each part, and to show that tiny microscopic o

This activity (page 3 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) is a full inquiry investigation into fossil hunting and identification.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as efficient planting and harvesting.

In this activity (p.7-8 of PDF), learners examine fossil formation.

In this activity about dinosaurs, learners first participate in a group discussion about where and when dinosaurs lived, how big they were, and who studies them and how.

This activity is a sensory experience that recreates the sounds of a pond at night.

This is an activity about dinosaurs, fossils, and the work of paleontologists. Learners use hand tools (paint brushes, scoops, and sifters) to unearth fossil specimens in tubs of birdseed.

In this online interactive, learners use fossils to infer temperatures 55 million years ago, at the sites where the fossils were found.

In this activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity), learners will identify a group of deciduous trees to study.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

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
