In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

In this activity, learners conduct a simulation exercise related to public key encryption and try to intercept a message sent between two learners.

In this activity, learners participate in a scavenger hunt, searching for and recognizing minerals and products that contain minerals.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls.

In this on site "field trip" activity (located on pages 6-9 of PDF), learners get hands-on experience identifying building materials by playing "Building Bingo".

In this data activity, learners analyze data from coral reef snapshots taken by scientists at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

In this activity, learners listen to songs and decode hidden messages based on the same principle as a modem. As a final challenge, learners decode the binary messages in a music video.

This activity (page 2) draws upon a familiar, computer-based concept related to visual resolution: pixilation.

In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.

In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Where's Nano? Activity) about identifying nanoscale objects and phenomena in today's world.

In this data activity, learners will explore shipwrecks from four National Marine Sanctuaries on the West Coast of the United States.

In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.

In this activity, learners create their own weather forecast map.

In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.

In this activity, learners will listen to as many radio stations as possible to discover that AM radio signals can travel many hundreds of miles at night.

This activity aims to stimulate discussion on the question of whether computers can exhibit “intelligence,” or are ever likely to do so in the future.

In this thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.
