This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

In this activity, learners investigate the formation of craters. Learners will examine how the size, angle and speed of a meteorite's impact affects the properties of craters.

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 activity, learners discover how to determine the distance to a lightning strike or nearby thunderstorm.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

In this activity, learners investigate Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM) and then work in teams using a pencil to explore and identify the shape of objects they cannot see, just as SPMs do at the nano

In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

In this activity, learners are introduced to tree rings by examining a cross section of a tree, also known as a “tree cookie.” They discover how tree age can be determined by studying the rings and ho

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

In this activity, (on page 6 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) learners participate in a hands-on fossil excavation.

In this activity, learners mimic remote sensing. Learners use a stick to measure the distance to a "planet surface" they cannot see, and create their own map of the landscape.

In this activity, learners construct a robot-like hand to demonstrate how data is collected when using robotic technology.

In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

This online interactive has three activities in the NanoLab (press the upper right button): Build, Zoom, and Transform.
