In this activity (on page 6 of the PDF), learners plot the path of the sun's apparent movement across the sky on two days, with the second day occurring two or three months after the first.

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs), learners will model how paleontologists estimate the age of fossil discoveries by extracting “fossil” playing cards from newspa

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

In this three-part activity, learners explore how waves are formed and why some waves are bigger than others. First, learners observe waves of water in a pan generated by an electric fan.

In this activity, learners compare the ways of life of Plains Native Americans who hunted and moved frequently to follow the buffalo herds, and Native Americans who farmed and lived in more permanent

Historically, sea floor mapping (bathymetry) was done by soundings.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

In this activity about the circulatory system and space travel (on page 38 of the PDF), learners use water balloons to simulate the effects of gravity and microgravity on fluid distribution in the bod

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes) is a full inquiry investigation into aerial imagery.

April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?

Learners will explore the scientific mystery behind a disappearing group of trees by examining data and attempting to explain the decline.
