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).

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about composites, materials made of 2 or more different components.

In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

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 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).

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

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

In this 7-10 day investigation, learners develop an understanding of waves and tides and their motion through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on activities.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

In this activity, learners make a black box device that serves as an excellent analogy to Rutherford's famous experiment in which he deduced the existence of the atomic nucleus.

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

In this activity, learners use geometry to predict the shape of carbon. Learners twist and attach chenille stem pieces that represent bonds between different carbon atoms.
