Did you know that the water we use today is the same water found on Earth millions of years ago? The Earth constantly uses and recycles water in a process called the water cycle.

In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

In this activity, learners mimic remote sensing. Learners use a stick to measure the distance to a "planet surface" they cannot see, and create their own map of the landscape.

In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.

In this activity (p.3-4 of PDF), learners learn about disease transmission and antibiotic resistance.

In this puzzle, learners investigate the decisions involved in linking a network between houses in a muddy city.

This activity (on pages 38-43) has learners simulate the way scientists track and map the movement of otters in the wild using radio trackers.

In this activity, learners experience some of the challenges of "tele-operating" a robotic vehicle on another planet when they design and execute a series of commands to guide a human "rover" through

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

This online interactive has three activities in the NanoLab (press the upper right button): Build, Zoom, and Transform.

In this activity on page 9 of the PDF, learners test how flavoring extracts move through the walls of a balloon.

This activity helps the learner answer the question: "What environmental problems arise due to animal and human overpopulation and what might need to be done to combat these problems?" Learners play a

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how forensic investigators collect prints from a crime scene. Learners make hand impressions in damp sand and analyze the patterns they observe.

In this online activity about heart disease, learners will, with the virtual help of an actual surgeon, watch a virtual bypass surgery.

In this activity about sea otters, learners make their own "otter whiskers" and use them to find objects underwater.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity describes techniques scientists use to find planets orbiting other stars.

In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.

This simulation helps learners understand what happens to food as it passes through the digestive system.

In this activity, learners are challenged to eat some candy as a cell would need to as well as to think about some of the problems that arise when a cell ingests food.

In this experiment, learners examine the way oil affects bird feathers and test different cleanup methods to find out which works best.
