Ice on Mars
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use sand and ice cubes to create a model of permafrost and the effects of the ice melting through the surface.

Layered Fossil Parfait: Deeper is Older
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making an edible treat. First, learners read "Dinosaur Bones" by Aliki to examine how fossils are formed.

Compare Dinosaur Body Parts
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most to learn about the different sizes of dinosaurs.

Can Fishing
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners go "can fishing" and discover the kinds of aquatic organisms that live in and on submerged cans.

Angles and Area
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 10 of PDF), learners approximate the area of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater using a variety of square grids.
We Have Capture!
Source Institutions
Using simple materials, learners will construct the end effector (grasping device) of a robotic arm and use the device to capture and pick up an object.

Finding the Carbon in Sugar
Source Institutions
In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.

Seasons and Shadows: Investigate How Shadows Shift Throughout the Year
Source Institutions
In this activity you'll see how the sun's tilt on its axis changes the length of shadows. For example, why is your shadow longer in winter than in summer?

Sharks: Taking a Bite Out of The Myth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore trends in shark populations using shark landing data from the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Changing Shadows
Source Institutions
In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.

Digging Deeper!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons and anatomy. Learners make observations about a T. rex skeleton diagram and then measure the skeleton length and width.

Sand Study
Source Institutions
In this geology activity, learners use a microscope to discover and identify the components of sand.

Capturing Carbon Dioxide
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate carbon sequestration by creating a carbonated beverage out of apple juice and dry ice.

Neato-Magneto Planets
Source Institutions
In this activity, teams of learners study magnetic fields at four separate stations: examining magnetic fields generated by everyday items, mapping out a magnetic field using a compass, creating model
Build A Hydrometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 1
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.

Earth Walk
Source Institutions
In this hands-on and feet-on excursion, learners take a science walk to visualize the planet's immense size and numerous structures, without the usual scale and ratio dimensions found in most textbook

Passion for Pixels
Source Institutions
In this technology activity, learners explore digital imaging and pixels. Learners "transmit" an image to a partner by creating an image on grid paper.

Ramp it Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

Sinking Water
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners float colored ice cubes in hot and cold water.
