In this activity, learners make "solar cookies," edible models of the Sun's outer layers using sugar cookies and toppings.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

Learners follow directions to construct a solar oven that really cooks! The solar oven uses aluminum foil to reflect sunlight into a cooking chamber, which is painted black.

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

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

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with marbles and weights to discover some basics about gravity and black holes.

In this activity, learners sort different natural phenomena into categories (they occur on Earth, on the Moon, or on both), and then model how energy moves during a quake using spring toys.

In this activity, learners try to figure out who has their matching rock type by reading a description of their rock (no talking!).

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has developed various means to remove impurities from water.

An estuary is a body of water that is created when freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the saltwater of an ocean.

Discover how a refracting telescope works by making one from scratch using common items. This telescope won't have a tube so the learner can see how an image is formed inside the telescope.

In this activity, learners create volcanoes like those they have examined on Earth and Mars through images taken by spacecraft.

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

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.

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?

In the wild, small crustaceans known as brine shrimp live in marine habitats such as saltwater lakes.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.

In this ecology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore how to filter contaminated water using a variety of materials.
