In this geology activity, learners create a model using a mixture of salt and sand inside a CD case. When the case is tilted or inverted, the mixture dramatically sorts into a layered pattern.

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

In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

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.

In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.

In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh

In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Lava Flow Activity), learners will model how large depressions near the top of a volcano are formed by using an inflating and deflating balloon submerg

In this space science activity, learners work together to create a human-powered orrery to model the movements of the four inner planets.

In this activity, learners model erosion using a clear shoebox and sand or soil.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

Learners build 3D representations of constellations, which show not just the position of the stars as seen from Earth but also their relative distance from Earth.

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

Learners build models to learn about the special cells and structures that plants use to move water from their roots up through the stems and leaves.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS Wetlands Activity), learners will model how wetlands act as natural filters for the environment.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation about the different causes of glacial melt.
