Learners listen to and try to decipher a radio message that was sent from Earth to possible intelligent civilizations.

In "Exploring the Solar System: Mars Rovers," participants learn about how scientists and engineers use robotic rovers and other vehicles to explore distant worlds, and experience some of the challeng

This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

This is an activity about rockets. Learners will explore how rockets leave Earth's orbit and what it takes to make a launch successful.

In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will make their very own working compass.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this activity, learners discover that the Moon, like Earth, is made up of layers of different materials. Learners work in teams to make models of the interiors of the Moon and Earth.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

In "Exploring the Solar System: Stomp Rockets," participants learn about how some rockets carry science tools—not scientists—into space, and how a special kind of rocket called "sounding rockets" can

In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into organisms and the health of their ecosystems.

In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.

Learners develop awareness and understanding of the daily air quality using the Air Quality Index (AQI) listed in the newspaper or online.

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.
