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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering has made possible the development of--and ongoing improvements to--adaptive devices that serve to help individuals with a wide range o

In this genetics activity, learners create and decode a “DNA recipe” for a dog by randomly selecting strips of paper that represent DNA.

This demonstration/activity helps learners understand why higher elevations are not always warm simply because "hot air rises." Learners use a tire pump to increase the pressure and temperature inside

In this activity, learners explore the design of tall structures such as skyscrapers and telecommunication towers.

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

This is a guide for facilitating interaction at a touch tank with marine animals. The instructions are for setting up a display in an informal science center, but could work anywhere.

In this activity, learners construct three optical illusion toys to examine how our brains play tricks on what we see.

In this activity, learners investigate procedural memory.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

In this activity, learners act as epidemiologists by mapping the prevalence of HIV/AIDS worldwide.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

This lesson (on pages 15-24 of PDF) explores how sound is caused by vibrating objects. It explains that we hear by feeling vibrations passing through the air.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity uses a variety of simple props to help learners understand why they see what they see in a telescope.

In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the carbon cycle using movement and props to aid in comprehension.

In this activity, learners use a nail and magnet wire to build an electromagnet, which controls the movements of a paper dancer.
