In this activity related to indoor air pollution, learners build take-home dust catchers with wax paper and petroleum jelly.

In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

In this activity (on pages 36-39), learners make a model of a watershed out of paper, then run water down the mountain to simulate how rainfall and pollution affect watersheds.

In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.

In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

This marine biology activity (on pages 11-17) introduces learners to kelp (seaweed) forests that grow in the ocean and are home to many species of sea animals.

In this activity (on pages 18-29) learners explore the impact of the March 24, 1989 oil spill in Alaska caused by the Exxon Valdez tanker.

In this activity (on pages 16-21), learners get a sense of geological time by understanding how big a million is.

In this activity (on pages 12-15), learners make a crater model and test the effects of weather (rain) on its surface.

Space Guess Quest is a fun game that encourages participants to identify the many types of objects in space, from human-made spacecraft to nebulas, galaxies, stars, and worlds.

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

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

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners conduct some quick and easy tests to determine the differences between water and other liquids that look very similar to water.

In this activity (on pages 30-36), learners simulate a dig for ancient pollen, to experience how paleobotanists study fossilized pollen in rocks to learn about early geological and climatological even

In this activity (on pages 10-17), learners discover how scientists study biodiversity and the health of the environment based on inspection of small areas—a process known as sampling.

In this activity (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.

In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

In this water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how passive solar design increases energy efficiency.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.
