Learning the Land
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

Trash Traits
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

Map Your World
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners map their world by drawing a plan of their bedroom.
Float or Sink?
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

Space Rocks!: A Meteorite Game
Source Institutions
In this board game, learners explore the origins of meteors, meteoroids, and meteorites as well as the their characteristics and importance. They also discover some misconceptions about meteors.

The Great Plankton Race
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

Exploring the Solar System: Mission to Space Board Game
Source Institutions
In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

Tabloid Science
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners analyze a fictionalized report of life on Mars, based on a real NASA satellite photo, and explore how to separate scientific fact from fiction.

Earth Attractions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build and test a compass. Learners work in pairs and pretend they are stuck in the wilderness at night.

Is Anybody Out There?
Source Institutions
Learners listen to and try to decipher a radio message that was sent from Earth to possible intelligent civilizations.

Moon and Stars
Source Institutions
In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

Uplifting Force: Buoyancy & Density
Source Institutions
In this investigation, learners explore the force known as buoyancy by placing various objects into water and observing how they behave (for example, which sink more quickly, which float, how much wat

Lava Lamp
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own lava lamps. Learners will explore density, effervescence and chemistry through this activity.
A Day in the Life of a San Francisco Native Animal
Source Institutions
In this activity, students will learn some key information about a San Francisco native animal and then write a firsthand account of their experience from the perspective of that animal in the time be

Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of the solid Earth's layers that's good enough to eat! Learners use tasty foodstuffs to simulate Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust.
Dive into Design
Source Institutions
Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.

The Desert Blooms!
Source Institutions
This activity attempts to clear up the common misconception that deserts are always hot, totally dry, and uninhabitable.

Rescue Mission
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

Plankton Feeding
Source Institutions
This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

Measuring Earthquakes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build their your own seismograph with household materials to document shaking.
