In this activity about archaeology, learners will explore different Egyptian hieroglyphs and recognize their meanings and uses.

In this activity, learners construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

In this activity, learners will use a compact disc to build an air puck that can glide across a smooth tabletop. The puck glides with almost no friction on a cushion of air escaping from a balloon.

In this activity (on pages 19-21 of the PDF) learners observe mold growing on potatoes. Preparation for this activity has to start a week before, to allow time for the mold to grow on the potatoes.

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

In this activity, learners will first learn the basics of galaxy classification and grouping.

In this activity, learners explore density, convection, stratification, and, by inference, the melting of icebergs. Learners make hypotheses, test their hypotheses, and explain their observations.

In this activity (located on page 2), learners will construct tiny model geysers out of film canisters, warm water, and antacid seltzer tablets.

In this experiment, learners will explore whether increased carbon dioxide makes our oceans more basic or more acidic.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this activity (on pages 11-12 of PDF) learners create models of lava layers that have formed on the moon.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.

In this activity, learners create air cannons out of everyday materials. Learners use their air cannons to investigate air as a force and air pressure.

In this activity, learners gain knowledge about how carbon moves through all four of the Earth’s major spheres (biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere), and understand how humans influenc

In this activity, learners graph 48 hourly air temperatures from a local weather observation site and observe the diurnal temperature variations.
