In this activity, challenge learners to predict and investigate how many water drops they can fit on one penny.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.

In this activity, learners explore a scale by comparing objects, which look similar but have different weights. Learners predict and then measure the weights of various objects using a scale.

In this activity, learners will investigate the impacts of harmful phytoplankton using NOAA's Coastal Services Center Harmful Algal Bloom Forecasting (HABF) Project data.

In this activity/demonstration, learners observe what happens when two ping pong balls are suspended in the air by a hair dryer. Use this activity to demonstrate how rain drops grow by coalescence.

In this activity, learners create a CloudSpotter wheel and record the different types of clouds they observe twice daily over several days.

In this online activity, learners will brush up on their multiplication, division, and factoring skills with this exciting game.

Put math of measurement into lining up — and make waiting in line fun. Choose a size characteristic that learners can physically compare, such as foot length or hair length.

In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

This online interactive has three activities in the NanoLab (press the upper right button): Build, Zoom, and Transform.

In this activity, learners cut out and fold their own collapsible origami starshade, an invention that shields a telescope's camera lens from the light of a distant star so that NASA scientists can ex

Learners draw and describe a leaf, and then re-find leaves drawn and described by other learners. Learners can observe leaves outside, or leaves may be brought into the classroom.

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