In this activity, learners will compare predicted and observed tides using data from The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA).

In this activity about center of gravity (page 23 of PDF), learners investigate how the body adjusts to the force of gravity to remain balanced.

This neuroscience activity introduces learners to how messages are sent and received by neurons. Learners use modeling clay and pipe cleaners to build model neurons.

Learners determine the surface area and volume of two identical boxes, and then figure out the dimensions of a cubical box with the same volume.

In this data collection activity about crabs, learners use data from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) trawl survey to determine the areas of the Chesapeake Bay that are being used by bl

In this activity, learners identify different plastics in a mystery bag. Learners discover that plastics are classified #1 through #7.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.

In this activity, learners use tsunami time travel maps to predict how long it will take a tsunami to reach the shore.

In this activity, learners will explore how the human brain interprets environmental stimuli.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

In this activity, learners cut wells in JELL-O© and load the wells with different detergent solutions.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners observe as two parallel, current-carrying wires exert forces on each other.

This activity (located on page 8 of the PDF) introduces learners to the concept of Non-point Source Pollution--what happens when rain washes garbage and other pollutants into rivers and lakes.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this activity, learners explore the Great Plains.

In this activity, leaners will observe the process of natural selection on a population of birds called 'Springbeaks' over four seasons of breeding on an isolated environment called 'Clippy Island.' L

This guide features three related ramp explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: when placed on a ramp, some objects roll, others slide, and others stay put; the shape

In this introductory activity, learners discover that sugar and food coloring dissolve in water but neither dissolves in oil.

Learners make their own simple slide rules out of paper and learn how they work.
