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

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 discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

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.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

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.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

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.

In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

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

In this 6-7 day investigation, learners begin with an introduction to seamounts that are present in the Gulf of Alaska.

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.

In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.

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.

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).
