This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Where's Nano? Activity) about identifying nanoscale objects and phenomena in today's world.

In this activity, learners work in groups to build simple solar stills filled with salt water. After the stills are complete, learners observe what happens when they place the stills in the sun.

In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.

In this activity (page 87 of the PDF), learners move their bodies to better understand the three axes of rotation: pitch, roll and yaw.

In this math lesson, learners explore tessellations through literature, music, writing, and art activities.

This is an activity about discovering the colors and beauty of nature. Learners will spend time outdoors, matching paint chip samples, colored paper, or colors of clothing to those found in nature.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into organisms and the health of their ecosystems.

In this outdoor activity, learners play a game of Tag to discover how neurons attach themselves to each other to form a chain.

In this indoor and outdoor activity, learners discover that insects grow and develop as do all living things, going through a process known as complete metamorphosis.

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 (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this outdoor activity, learners find out the color of food that jays prefer and then try to change the birds' preference by altering the taste of the food with salt.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a mapping technique to become oriented to the major features of an outdoor site.

Learners use engineering design principles to construct and test a fully solar-powered car. Solar car kits usually include a photovoltaic cell and motor; some include a chassis as well.

In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

In this math lesson, learners participate in a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and arithmetic patterns.

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.
