In this multi-part activity learners examine non-point water pollution.

Players take turns adding shapes made of three squares to a grid. They try to fit their shapes on the grid in a way that blocks the other player.

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.

As learners play this strategy game, they develop understanding of squares, area, and perimeter. On each turn, a player draws a line between two dots next to each other on the grid.

In this design challenge, learners will practice empathy and design thinking skills by creating a play space that is fun, both for themselves and other kids.

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

In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

In this activity, learners use number sense and mental math strategies to estimate the price of a sign.

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

In this design challenge, learners will practice empathy and design thinking skills by creating an invention of the future.

In this fun math activity (page 5 of the pdf), learners will help a secret agent crack a case by solving math problems.

In this fun and imaginative writing assignment (page nine of the pdf), students will flex the creative side of their brains to learn more about the laws of motion and the scientific process.

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

This activity is on page 3 (continued on page 2) of the pdf, part of the Simple Machines Discovery Box. In this fun activity, learners "create" a complex machine by simulating the parts in action.

In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.

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 activity, learners make a scale model of an atom to see how big or how small an atom is compared to its nucleus. Learners will realize that most of matter is just empty space!

This lesson plan revolves around studying the speciation of the Galápagos mockingbirds, which are on display at the California Academy of Sciences.
