In this activity, learners discover how geologists use stratigraphy, the study of layered rock, to understand the sequence of geological events.

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

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

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

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

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

In this geology activity learners build a "squeeze box," which allows them to compress layers of sediment. This is a great way to investigate folding and faulting in the Earth.

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

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this three-part activity, learners explore how waves are formed and why some waves are bigger than others. First, learners observe waves of water in a pan generated by an electric fan.

In this weather activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the water cycle through an interactive game.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

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?

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how some desert birds keep their cool.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

Water on Earth is in lakes, the ocean, rivers, underground, and frozen glaciers.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.

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