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

In this crime science activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners will explore the uniqueness of fingerprints. The will learn components of fingerprints as well as why fingerprints are left behind.

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

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

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.

In this activity, learners predict whether a ball on Earth or a ball on the Moon bounces higher when dropped and why.

On an imaginary fossil hunt, learners "find" (remove from envelope) paper "fossils" of some unknown creature, only a few at a time.

In this activity, learners create channel features with flowing water, comparing their observations to real images of Mars and Earth taken by satellites/orbiters.

In this activity, learners mimic remote sensing. Learners use a stick to measure the distance to a "planet surface" they cannot see, and create their own map of the landscape.

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

In this activity, learners drop impactors onto layers of graham crackers!

In this activity, learners perform 20 arm curls with cans that simulate the weight of beans on Earth versus the weights of the same number of beans on the Moon and in space.

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

In this art-related activity, learners make a coin rubbing—a process similar to what archeologists may do with ancient artifacts. This activity can be used in connection with a history or art lesson.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

In this activity, learners create volcanoes like those they have examined on Earth and Mars through images taken by spacecraft.

This activity explores what it means for a computer to be intelligent and introduces the topic of what a computer program is and how everything computers do simply involves following instructions writ

In this activity, early learners simulate fossil prints in play dough or clay.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).
