Scale Model of Sun and Earth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

Disappearing Statues
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

Exploring the Universe: Nebula Spin Art
Source Institutions
In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

Digging Into the Past
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 23-27) lets learners simulate the work of scientists who take core samples of Earth's rocky layers to determine geological history.

Exploring the Solar System: Asteroid Mining
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.

Building A Storm Drain
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.

Carbon Cycle Poster
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners gain knowledge about how carbon moves through all four of the Earth’s major spheres (biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere), and understand how humans influenc
Crater Maker
In this activity (on pages 6-11), learners work as a team to investigate how impact craters on Earth, the Moon or other planets take shape and what patterns they make.

Cleaning Water with Dirt
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners make their own water treatment systems for cleaning water.

Exploring Science Practices: Early Explorations
Source Institutions
This activity gives caregivers and their children an opportunity to practice scientific ways of thinking that are developmentally appropriate for early learners.

Exploring the Universe: Star Formation
Source Institutions
In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.

Finding the Carbon in Sugar
Source Institutions
In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.

Cooking With the Sun
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a simple solar oven out of household materials to melt chocolate and marshmallow between graham crackers--known as s'mores.

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

Boats Afloat
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

Creating a Soil Map
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

Exploring the Solar System: Story Blocks
Source Institutions
In this collaborative storytelling activity, learners and caregivers develop a strong story about science and exploration.

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

Watercraft
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

¡Terrario!
Source Institutions
En esta actividad, los aprendices harán un terrario usando materiales simples.
