In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.

“Exploring the Solar System: Pocket Solar System” is a hands-on activity in which visitors make a scale model of the distances between objects in our solar system.

In this data activity, learners analyze data from coral reef snapshots taken by scientists at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

In this activity, learners work in groups to create a time line representing significant moments in their lives.

In this activity, learners work in teams to simulate the process used by Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to determine the location of a fallen meteorite in Antarctica.

In this activity, "space cadets" (learners) use writing and sequencing skills in addition to directional words/ordered pairs to guide Buzz Lightyear (from the movie "Toy Story") through a grid to reac

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

In this activity, learners will first learn the basics of galaxy classification and grouping.

In this activity, learners test the Law of Reflection based on experimental evidence. Learners produce raw data and explanations based on their data: pencil tracings of incident and reflection rays.

Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

In this interactive and informative group activity, learners use packages of M&M's to illustrate the difference between weather and climate.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

In this activity (Lesson 1), learners work in groups to create tide simulations.

In this data collection and analysis activity, learners evaluate fish physiology and ecology using vision research data from Dr.

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

In this activity, learners calculate their water usage (in cups and galloons) during an average shower. Learners also chart and analyze water usage during showers in their households.

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.
