In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as efficient planting and harvesting.

This activity is a sensory experience that recreates the sounds of a pond at night.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

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

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.
