Do the Mystery Samples Contain Life?
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 13-16 of the PDF) learners investigate three mystery samples to see which one contains life. The three samples are sand, sand and yeast, and sand and antacid.
Proportionality: The X-Plane Generation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a 1:140 "scale model" of NASA's X-33 Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) Technology Demonstrator, and investigate how the model dimensions compare to the real vehicle.
Bouncy Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how acids can dissolve eggshells leaving behind a membrane-covered bouncy egg.
The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 3
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.
Amazon Water Cycle Roleplay
Source Institutions
In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the water cycle using movement, sound, and props to aid in comprehension.
Where Does Life Live?
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 22-24 of the PDF), learners match extreme enviroments with life forms they support.
Envirolopes
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.
What's In Your Breath?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test to see if carbon dioxide is present in the air we breathe in and out by using a detector made from red cabbage.
The Earth's Timeline
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners will mark important developments of life on Earth on a timeline (each foot in length representing 200 million years).
Capturing Homemade Microgravity
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Microgravity) is a full inquiry investigation into how ordinary things behave in microgravity, similar to what astronauts experience.
My Angle on Cooling: Effects of Distance and Inclination
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.
Space Stations: Beans in Space
Source Institutions
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.
Human-powered Orrery
Source Institutions
In this space science activity, learners work together to create a human-powered orrery to model the movements of the four inner planets.
Light on Other Planets
Source Institutions
In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe
Future Moon: The Footsteps of Explorers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners drop impactors onto layers of graham crackers!
Infant Moon: Moon Mix!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the Moon's infancy and model how an ocean of molten rock (magma) helped shape the Moon that we see today.
Crystal Gardens
Source Institutions
In this activity, which requires adult supervision, learners get to explore the awesome power of chemistry.
Exploring the Ocean with Robots
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are introduced to robotic submarines called gliders. Learners make “gliders” from plastic syringes and compare these to Cartesian bottles and plastic bubbles.
Water Quality and pH Levels in Aquatic Ecosystems
Source Institutions
In this fun and in depth hands-on experiment, learners test various liquid samples (distilled water, lemon juice, vinegar, and baking soda mixed with water) to determine their pH levels and identify e
Mission Insignia
Source Institutions
In this science/art activity, learners create an insignia or emblem for a planet exploration mission.
