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

This activity introduces learners to Native Americans as people who depended upon nature in the past and continue to emphasize the importance of nature in the present.

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.

In this online activity, learners build their own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet.

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.

In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.

In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

In this activity, learners work in NASA teams to build balloon-powered rockets using identical parts and compete to launch the greatest number of paper clips to "space" (the ceiling).

In this team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).

In this activity, learners explore how air warms when it condenses water vapor or makes clouds.

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

In this optics activity, learners make a simple telescope using two lenses and a cardboard tube. Learners construct the telescope and then calculate its magnification.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.

In this activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.

In this on site "field trip" activity (located on pages 6-9 of PDF), learners get hands-on experience identifying building materials by playing "Building Bingo".

In this activity (p.7-8 of PDF), learners examine fossil formation.

In this group activity, learners will mark important developments of life on Earth on a timeline (each foot in length representing 200 million years).

In this activity, learners compare water pressure at different depths. Learners discover that water pressure increases with depth.

In this activity, learners make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.
