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 explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.

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

In this activity, pairs of learners model how scientists use craters to determine the ages of lunar surfaces. One partner keeps time while the other creates a painting for the other to interpret.

This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon?

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.

In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.

In this activity (page 7 of PDF), learners will identify the general two-dimensional geometric shape of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater.

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

In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.

In this activity (page 23 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to determine how the size and mass of a projectile affects the area and the volume of an impact crater.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.
