In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and a dig site. Learners work in groups to analyze a dig site map and match bones to a skeletal drawing of Kelsey (a Triceratops).

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

Learners explore the physical properties of a variety of balls and how they bounce.

In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.

In this activity, learners participate in a simulated dig to discover fossilized dinosaur bones. Learners take notes, make a map and propose theories about dinosaurs.

In this activity, learners create volcanoes like those they have examined on Earth and Mars through images taken by spacecraft.

In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this forensics activity, learners solve a mystery using “DNA” taken from the scene of the crime.

In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

Learners imagine they are paleontologists in Florida, where they find (remove from envelope) paper "fossils" of some unknown creature, only a few at a time.

Learners turn over a random selection of cards from a larger set. From the words revealed, they try to determine the sentence represented on the larger set of cards.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaurs and fossils by creating a diorama.

This activity (page 2) draws upon a familiar, computer-based concept related to visual resolution: pixilation.

In this activity, learners use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.
