In this activity (1st on the page), learners keep a "SLOG" or Sleep Log to study their sleep patterns.

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

In this activity, learners will use their five senses to explore a nature-based area around them.

This simple activity uses paper and scissors to convey two key concepts to learners: the nanoscale is very small and working on the nanoscale requires special tools.

In this activity, learners cut, fold, and paste paper representing biomolecules to create a three-dimensional cell membrane with embedded proteins.

In this activity, learners will experiment to find how long it takes to compost paper. They will create their own compost container and test different variables.

In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.

In this activity, learners will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.

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.

In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

This is a hands-on activity that uses bread and household materials to grow mold. Learners collect dust from a room, wipe it on food, and contain it. One to seven days later, mold has grown.

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 this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

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

In this math lesson, learners apply measurement skills to determine, in dollar bills, the capacity of a suitcase.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will build a class 1 lever and hypothesize and test the distances two objects need to be placed from the fulcrum in order to balance.

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

In this activity, you'll use a paper cup, a piece of cloth, and some string to make a musical instrument called a cuica (pronounced KWEE-kah).

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 related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete
