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.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

In this 6-7 day investigation, learners begin with an introduction to seamounts that are present in the Gulf of Alaska.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this math lesson, learners explore the relationship between the thickness of a spaghetti bridge, the length of the bridge, and the amount of weight that can be supported by the bridge.

In this activity, learners build a stuffed-animal zip line. Learners hold a cord against a wall, hook a cute stuffed animal onto it, let the animal slide down, and records its travel time.

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of rotational equilibrium. Learners work in teams to estimate and determine the force within a mobile design.

In this three-part math activity, learners explore shapes. In part one, learners identify, describe, and classify two-dimensional shapes.

In this math lesson, learners are introduced to proportional reasoning through modeling, sharing, and questioning techniques.

This guide features three related ramp explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: when placed on a ramp, some objects roll, others slide, and others stay put; the shape

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

This activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into testing a repair material.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

In this math lesson, learners participate in a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and arithmetic patterns.

Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.
