In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

Learners follow a three-step process to start their own rock collection.

Learners build a simple aneroid barometer to learn about changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They observe their barometer and record data over a period of days.

In this interdisciplinary activity, learners create a Space Weather Action Center (SWAC) to monitor solar storms and develop real SWAC news reports.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

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

In this activity, learners perform 20 arm curls with cans that simulate the weight of beans on Earth versus the weights of the same number of beans on the Moon and in space.

In this activity, learners drop impactors onto layers of graham crackers!

This is an activity about dinosaurs, fossils, and the work of paleontologists. Learners use hand tools (paint brushes, scoops, and sifters) to unearth fossil specimens in tubs of birdseed.

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 examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs), learners will model how paleontologists estimate the age of fossil discoveries by extracting “fossil” playing cards from newspa

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

In this activity (on pages 30-36), learners simulate a dig for ancient pollen, to experience how paleobotanists study fossilized pollen in rocks to learn about early geological and climatological even

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 archaeology activity, learners make observations and conduct an experiment to demonstrate the effect saltwater has on artifacts.
