In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

In this activity, learners investigate Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM) and then work in teams using a pencil to explore and identify the shape of objects they cannot see, just as SPMs do at the nano

This is an activity about waves. Using marbles, paper clips and rubber bands, learners explore how waves behave.

In this activity, learners play a game that models what happens as stem cells differentiate into different cell types.

In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

In this activity, learners work individually to assemble a product and then work in teams to design, construct, test, and redesign an assembly line process whose product must meet specific quality con

In this activity, learners experiment and collect data during a simulation of the fluid shifts experienced by astronauts' bodies in microgravity.

In this team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this forensics activity, learners solve a mystery using “DNA” taken from the scene of the crime.

In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

In this activity, learners investigate different types of bird beaks using household items which mimic different beak examples.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners create a safety device to protect an egg "passenger" in a toy car crash. Learners experiment with different solutions to this very problem.

In this quick activity about predicting (located on page 2 of the PDF under Where's Nano?

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this activity, learners use a fictitious map of "Tourist Town" and counters to problem solve how to place ice-cream vans on street intersections so that every other intersection is connected to one

In this activity about the human heart (on page 5 of the PDF), learners work in teams to simulate the volume of blood moved through the circulatory system by transferring liquid into--and through--a s
