In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

In this activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.

Can gelatin (like Jell-O ®) change the speed of light?

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Luge) is a full inquiry-based challenge related to motion and design optimization.

In this activity (on page 6 of the PDF), learners plot the path of the sun's apparent movement across the sky on two days, with the second day occurring two or three months after the first.

In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

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.

In this two part activity, learners work in pairs or individually to discover how vectoring the thrust from a jet engine affects movement of an airplane.

In this activity, learners experiment with gear motion to understand how gears work to change the amount of force, speed, or direction of motion in machines.

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

In this math-based activity, learners will experiment to find how height and angle affect spatter and then use this knowledge to solve a crime.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

This activity helps learners understand how the angle of the Sun affects temperatures around the globe.

In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.

This activity (8th activity on the page) tests learners' ability to identify things using only the sense of hearing.

In this activity, learners build small indoor paper rockets, determine their flight stability, and launch them by blowing air through a drinking straw.

In this activity, learners explore how mirrors reflect light and change the way we see things.

In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.
