This lesson familiarizes learners with the term "tropical belt." First, learners locate the equator, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn on a map and trace these lines with a crayon.

In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

This hands-on astronomy activity allows you to create a “cutaway” telescope to clearly show how reflector and refractor telescopes work.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into mapping the underground “plumbing” of geysers.

In this activity, learners make a flip book that shows the progression of two solar events on reversible sides of the flip book.

In this activity, learners will learn how igneous rock, metamorphic rock, and sedimentary rock are formed as part of the rock cycle and that the same forces that produce/change rocks also produce/chan

In this activity (on pages 13-16 of the PDF) learners investigate three mystery samples to see which one contains life. The three samples are sand, sand and yeast, and sand and antacid.

In this activity, learners work in small groups to match various marine animals with their different environments.

In this activity, learners build a 1:140 "scale model" of NASA's X-33 Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) Technology Demonstrator, and investigate how the model dimensions compare to the real vehicle.

In this activity, learners explore how acids can dissolve eggshells leaving behind a membrane-covered bouncy egg.

In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the water cycle using movement, sound, and props to aid in comprehension.

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

In this activity, learners explore the potential of interchangeable standard parts to create a large number of unique creations in different combinations.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

This activity guide features three related explorations to help learners ages 3-6 investigate shadows via the following science concepts: A shadow is made when an object blocks the light; you can chan

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 activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this activity (on pages 22-24 of the PDF), learners match extreme enviroments with life forms they support.
