In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

In this arts and crafts activity about animals and animal characteristics, learners will design animal hats and role-play as animals.

In this activity (on pages 18-29) learners explore the impact of the March 24, 1989 oil spill in Alaska caused by the Exxon Valdez tanker.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

Learners design their own experiment to explore the permeability of different materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and marbles.

In this nutrition and estimation activity (page 12 of PDF), learners estimate serving sizes of different foods and compare their estimates to serving size information provided on nutrition food labels

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch) is a full inquiry investigation into whether hearing or seeing has a bigger effect on jump rope performance.

In this activity, learners investigate how increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is changing the acidity (pH) of the ocean and affecting coral reefs and other marin

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

In this activity, learners investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this activity, learners explore what makes a boat float and sink. They examine and test various objects to determine why objects float or sink.

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this math lesson, learners participate in several activities where they apply measurement skills.
