In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

In this activity, learners mimic remote sensing. Learners use a stick to measure the distance to a "planet surface" they cannot see, and create their own map of the landscape.

In this activity (p.3-4 of PDF), learners learn about disease transmission and antibiotic resistance.

In this puzzle, learners investigate the decisions involved in linking a network between houses in a muddy city.

This activity (on pages 38-43) has learners simulate the way scientists track and map the movement of otters in the wild using radio trackers.

In this activity, learners experience some of the challenges of "tele-operating" a robotic vehicle on another planet when they design and execute a series of commands to guide a human "rover" through

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

This online interactive has three activities in the NanoLab (press the upper right button): Build, Zoom, and Transform.

In this activity on page 9 of the PDF, learners test how flavoring extracts move through the walls of a balloon.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how forensic investigators collect prints from a crime scene. Learners make hand impressions in damp sand and analyze the patterns they observe.

In this activity about sea otters, learners make their own "otter whiskers" and use them to find objects underwater.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity describes techniques scientists use to find planets orbiting other stars.

In this experiment, learners examine the way oil affects bird feathers and test different cleanup methods to find out which works best.

In this lesson, learners will understand the concepts behind endangered and extinct animals and develop their own conservation plan to save three endangered species.

In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.

In this activity, learners use sieves with different-sized holes to sort balls by size.

In this outdoor activity and animal-role-play game, learners discover and uncover the hidden world of "cryptozoa"—organisms such as spiders, salamanders and slugs that live under objects, like rocks a

In this activity, learners play an active version of freeze tag based on predator/prey relationships.

In this thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.
