In this activity, learners will create a magnifying glass called a waterscope, using water and household items, to examine various objects.

In this game, learners take turns guessing toy animals from around their house based on the toy's characteristics.

Learners model the ocean currents that carry hot water from the tropics to northern latitudes.

In this activity, young learners explore the basic shapes of constellations by making their own scope out of a cardboard tube and paper with pinpricks.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to build their own compass.

Learners draw comic-style pictures to show the water cycle. From a starting picture, one learner draws what happens to the water in the next panel, then passes the comic strip to another learner.

In this activity, learners work in teams to simulate the process used by Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to determine the location of a fallen meteorite in Antarctica.

Learners model the Sun-Earth-Moon system to show what causes the Moon's appearance to change when viewed from the Earth.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

In this interactive activity, learners analyze seashells to explore phylogeny and evolution. Learners identify similar and dissimilar seashells to create a phylogenetic tree.

In this game, learners match descriptions of marine debris (shoes, batteries, paper towels, etc.) to images of these items.

Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.

In this collaborative storytelling activity, learners and caregivers develop a strong story about science and exploration.

Learners build 3D representations of constellations, which show not just the position of the stars as seen from Earth but also their relative distance from Earth.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

In this online game, learners attempt to send a rocket ship to various targets. Learners can adjust the angle and thrust of the rocket before it is launched.

A group of learners models the Sun shining on the Earth. By rotating the Earth, they demonstrate how the Sun only shines on a portion of the Earth at a time.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.
