In this activity, learners explore the physics of impact craters from their own backyard using mud. Learners are encouraged to match features of real impact craters to their models.

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

In this kinesthetic activity, learners will play a game with a ball to demonstrate the Coriolis force, which partly explains why hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.

Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en línea, en libros de consulta, y en calendarios y almanaques.

On an airplane trip, learners have an opportunity to investigate the properties of air pressure at different altitudes.

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

Exploring the Solar System: Solar Eclipse” is a hands-on activity demonstrating how the particular alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon can cause an eclipse.

Learners color and cut out a spiral-shaped snake. When they hang their snake over a radiator, the snake spins.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

Throw that fish back? A new generation of ethical anglers concerned about conserving resources is participating in "catch and release" fishing. How is this going?

In this data activity, learners will compare and contrast fish communities, diversity and habitats in U.S. National Marine Sanctuaries.

In this online activity, learners build their own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet.

In this online activity, learners can test their skills at finding constellations in the northern hemisphere's night sky.

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

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.

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

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.
