Crumple a Watershed
Source Institutions
Learners gain an intuitive knowledge of the physical aspects of watersheds by creating their own watershed models.
Exploring Earth: Temperature Mapping
Source Institutions
This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.
Shaking It!
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.
