In this activity (on pages 16-21), learners get a sense of geological time by understanding how big a million is.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

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

In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

In this math lesson, learners use slices of bread and geoboards to explore several ways to divide a rectangle in half. Learners also identify equivalent fractions that represent one-half.

In this math activity related to light, learners explore why a light, such as a candle or a streetlight, looks dimmer the farther away from it we get.

In this activity, learners use plastic water bottles, wood, and water to build an inexpensive and portable tool to demonstrate one atmosphere of pressure at sea level.

Learners explore the relationship between energy consumption, population, and carbon emissions in the countries of the Americas.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into g-force and acceleration.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) about how visible light is affected by tiny nanoscale structures, producing iridescence on butterfly wings, soap bubbl

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners conduct experiments to explore where dragonflies and damselflies perch or rest, and how the flies change behavior in reaction to other flies or fly decoys

In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners help create and then navigate an outdoor course of the traditional "planets" (including dwarf planet Pluto), which are represented by small common objects.

In this activity, learners make a simple spring-like scale using a rubber band instead of a spring, and calibrate the scale in newtons (N).

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Rabbits) is a full inquiry investigation into observing, recording, and graphing animal behavior.

In this activity (page 23 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to determine how the size and mass of a projectile affects the area and the volume of an impact crater.

In this lab, learners experience how dolphins and other echolocating animals use their senses to locate and identify objects without using their sense of sight.

In this outdoor activity, learners saw sections from fallen trees, then count tree rings and look closely at patterns of tree growth.

In this graphing activity (on pages 33-40), learners investigate how much and what kinds of food sea otter pups eat during their first year of life.
