Observing Earthworm Locomotion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners collect worms and then observe how they move.
Crater Maker
In this activity (on pages 6-11), learners work as a team to investigate how impact craters on Earth, the Moon or other planets take shape and what patterns they make.
Effects of Solar Radiation on Land and Sea
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

Feeding Facilitation: A Lesson in Evolution and Sociobiology
Source Institutions
This is an outdoor activity designed to demonstrate evolution of feeding behavior in flocking, schooling or herding animals that maximizes allocation of food resources and enhances survival.

Twirling Rope Frequency
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch), learners will stand twelve feet apart swinging a rope at the slowest tempo possible while someone uses a stopwatch to record

The Shadow Knows II
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

Snug as a Bug
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners make models of homes that might protect small animals from the elements, then search living plants for real structures made by small animals.

A Degrading Experience
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

Why Does the Moon Have Phases?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

Kid Moon: Splat!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.

Soil Density
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.

Scent Tracking
Source Institutions
In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

Self-Portrait Silhouettes: Activity 2
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a photographic image—without a camera!

Hopper Circus
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and/or field trip, learners investigate the behavior of hopping animals.

Erosion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model erosion using a clear shoebox and sand or soil.

Rubber Band Racer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

Animal Scent
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Animal Scent Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into animal behavior.

Blazing the Trail
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

Experiencing Parallax With Your Thumb
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

Chances Are: OH NO! Look Out Below for a UFO
Source Institutions
In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.
