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

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

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

In this activity, learners try to figure out who has their matching rock type by reading a description of their rock (no talking!).

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

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 activity, learners review and discuss weathering, erosion and mass wasting, to gain a stronger understanding of how Hickory Run’s Boulder Field was formed after the Laurentide Continental Glac

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity), learners will model how caves are formed by placing one piece of chalk in a cup of vinegar and another piece in a cup of water, then

In this activity, learners create volcanoes like those they have examined on Earth and Mars through images taken by spacecraft.

In this activity, learners create channel features with flowing water, comparing their observations to real images of Mars and Earth taken by satellites/orbiters.

In this activity, learners model how the Moon's volcanic period reshaped its earlier features.

In this activity (page 13 of the PDF), learners discover how weathering and erosion change the Earth’s surface.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.
