In this data activity, learners will explore shipwrecks from four National Marine Sanctuaries on the West Coast of the United States.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this activity, learners build a recording timer made from simple materials (e.g., small dc motor, sharpie pen, craft sticks, adding machine paper tape, etc.).

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this activity, learners build and play three math games. In the first game, called "Switcheroo," learners place marbles in holes 1 through 4 and 7 through 10.

This activity is about the mural making process done about 9,000 years ago in Catalhoyuk, Turkey.

In this activity, learners construct three math puzzles out of simple materials like wood, string, and Styrofoam.

Learners will follow a specific process to make their own paper using scrap paper, newspaper, or junk mail.

Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

Make a one-string "guitar" by stringing a cup with some fishing line. You amplify the plucking of the string by placing a piezo contact microphone and mini battery powered amplifier inside the cup.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaurs and fossils by creating a diorama.

Cardboard Automata are a playful way to explore simple machine elements while creating a mechanical sculpture.

In this activity, learners use simple tools to build a bookshelf with a built-in bookend.

In this activity about bones (page 12 of PDF), learners investigate and compare the weight-bearing capacity of solid and hollow cylinders.

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien

April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?

In this activity, learners explore work, forces, simple machines, and construction. This lesson guide includes simple ways to demonstrate these principles as well as hands-on activities.
