In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

In this activity, learners use multiple thermometers, placed at different angles, and a lamp to investigate why some places on Earth's surface are much hotter than others.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners create 3D models of the Earth, Moon and Sun to demonstrate solar and lunar eclipses.

In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

In this activity about soil (page 7 of the PDF), learners will use their sense of touch as well as sight to understand how soil is classified based on texture and other details.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.

Through doing these hands-on activities, learners explore the environmental consequences associated with fossil fuel usage.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners go on a nature walk outside and describe what they observe using their senses.

In this activity, learners make a barometer, an instrument to measure change in air pressure.

This activity (page 3 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) is a full inquiry investigation into fossil hunting and identification.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore what happens when a star explodes.

In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

In this activity, learners use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.
