Making Connections: What You Can Do To Help Stop Global Climate Change
Source Institutions
In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.
Dive into Design
Source Institutions
Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.
Investigating Ice Worlds
Source Institutions
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.
The Carbon Cycle Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.
Cooling Off
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.
Building a Community From the Ground Up
Source Institutions
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
FlyBy Math: Distance-Rate-Time Problems in Air Traffic Control
Source Institutions
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.
Earthquake-Proof Buildings
Source Institutions
In this geology and engineering activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners build an earthquake simulator, then use it to test various building designs, exploring different materials, shapes, and design op
Help Wanted
Source Institutions
In this interactive board game, learners "hire" different types of scientists to help canine character Ruff Ruffman solve unusual problems.
Rover Races
Source Institutions
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
Introduction to the Scientific Method
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 26 of the PDF), learners make observations, formulate hypotheses and design a controlled experiment, based on the reaction of carbon dioxide with calcium hydroxide.
Human Impact on Estuaries: A Terrible Spill in Grand Bay
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of a pollution spill that occurred at Bangs Lake in Mississippi and measure water quality parameters in their model.
Trail Impact Study
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.
