In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

In this technology activity, learners light up the room with electrifying play dough creations. Learners use conductive and insulating homemade play dough to build simple circuits.

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.

In this activity, a group of learners work collaboratively to design and construct a paper model showing the evolution of an environment through multiple stages, from prehistory through the modern cit

This simulation of laparoscopic surgery enables learners to practice and to learn this modern surgical technique.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this interactive board game, learners "hire" different types of scientists to help canine character Ruff Ruffman solve unusual problems.

In this activity, learners explore color, light and shadow by creating their own puppets to hold in front of a light source.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GEMS Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into technology design and testing.

Agriculturalists have long considered mushroom growing a challenge, largely because you need a piece of benchtop equipment known as a laminar flow hood.

In this activity, learners experience some of the challenges of "tele-operating" a robotic vehicle on another planet when they design and execute a series of commands to guide a human "rover" through
