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

In this activity, learners participate in a scavenger hunt, searching for and recognizing minerals and products that contain minerals.

In this environmental education demonstration (page 6 of the PDF), learners will see a tangible representation of the scarcity of soil resources on earth.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

Learners observe and discuss a simple model of a wet scrubber, a device for cleaning industrial air pollution.

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

In this activity about problem-solving, learners build a house for the Three Little Pigs using twenty straws and two index cards.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

This quiz lets you estimate your annual radiation exposure.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this activity, learners work in teams to simulate the process used by Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to determine the location of a fallen meteorite in Antarctica.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

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

In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.

Learners observe a simple balloon model of an electrostatic precipitator. These devices are used for pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution.

As a group, learners consider sources of water pollution to understand where pollution starts and where it ends up.
