Exploring Magnetic Field Lines
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the magnetic field of a bar magnet as an introduction to understanding Earth's magnetic field. First, learners explore and play with magnets and compasses.
Signs of Life
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine photo images of Earth taken from space, and attempt to identify and explain some of our planet's geological features.
A Crayon Rock Cycle- Sedimentary
Source Institutions
This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.
Weather Stations: Winds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a toaster to generate wind and compare the appliance's heat source to Jupiter's own hot interior. Learners discover that convection drives wind on Jupiter and on Earth.
Neato-Magneto Planets
Source Institutions
In this activity, teams of learners study magnetic fields at four separate stations: examining magnetic fields generated by everyday items, mapping out a magnetic field using a compass, creating model
Fuzzy Worms
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concepts of natural selection and observable traits in a game that can be played at home.
Sizing Up the Universe
Source Institutions
In this online interactive challenge, learners choose items to represent the Earth or solar system, then determine other items to represent the Moon, or Milky Way based on their relative size.
Egg Carton Nursery
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.
Eclipse: How can the little Moon hide the giant Sun?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how distance can affect the way we perceive the size of an object.
Exploring Earth: Temperature Mapping
Source Institutions
This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.
Scale Models
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.
