In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.

In this simple activity, learners explore ocean waves. To find out if water moves forward toward the shore, learners create waves in a simulated ocean (small aquarium tank of water).

Using simple materials, learners will construct the end effector (grasping device) of a robotic arm and use the device to capture and pick up an object.

In this family or group activity, learners create a nature journal by visiting a local nature center or backyard, observing creatures in their natural habitats, and sketching what they see.

This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.

Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

In ancient Chaco Canyon, the people used a "sun dagger" petroglyph to mark the passing of seasons.

Learners gain an intuitive knowledge of the physical aspects of watersheds by creating their own watershed models.

In this geography investigation, learners use a nighttime satellite image to observe areas of light across the United States and to identify patterns and spatial distributions of human settlements.

In this activity, learners find Xi'an, the archaeological area in China where the Terra Cotta Army was discovered, on a map or globe and look more closely at the relationship of the warrior site to ot

“Exploring the Solar System: Ice Orbs” is a hands-on activity in which visitors investigate a frozen orb, trying to learn about objects hidden inside.

In this activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.

In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Baby Dinosaurs Activity), learners will look for a relationship between skull size and body length among various dinosaurs.

Experiment with force and pressure by building a balloon rocket. When launched, the balloon will run a track wherever you place the string.

In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.

This fun and simple activity is a rubberband rocket design challenge! Learners will explore how tail fins can help to stabilize a flying object, while also exploring potential and kinetic energy.

In this activity, learners will create a soil profile in a bottle. They will learn about the organic and inorganic matter found in soil and observe as it separates into layers in the bottle.

In this activity, learners explore the potential of interchangeable standard parts to create a large number of unique creations in different combinations.

In this quick activity, learners practice locating a constellation in a map of very dark skies.

In this activity, learners make a flip book that shows the progression of two solar events on reversible sides of the flip book.
