In this game, learners take turns guessing toy animals from around their house based on the toy's characteristics.

In this activity (on pages 11-12 of PDF) learners create models of lava layers that have formed on the moon.

Learners model the ocean currents that carry hot water from the tropics to northern latitudes.

In this activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity), learners will identify a group of deciduous trees to study.

In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.

In this activity, learners sort different natural phenomena into categories (they occur on Earth, on the Moon, or on both), and then model how energy moves during a quake using spring toys.

In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.

Learners see convection currents in action in this highly visual demonstration. Sealed bags of colored hot or cold water are immersed in tanks of water.

In this activity, learners observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color and temperature -- basic concepts of matter and energy.

In this fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity, learners construct a model of our place in the Milky Way Galaxy and the distribution of stars, with a quarter and some birdseed.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.

In this activity, learners try to figure out who has their matching rock type by reading a description of their rock (no talking!).

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the value of supernovae in the universe.

In this activity about magnetism (page seven of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets to better understand how magnetic fields work.

In this goopy activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will model glacial movement with “gak,” a white glue and liquid starch mixture.

Build a hydrometer (measures the density of a liquid) using a pipet or eyedropper.

In this activity, learners will create a magnifying glass called a waterscope, using water and household items, to examine various objects.

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

In this activity, learners explore nonrenewable resources and learn why these resources are finite.

In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.
