Source Institutions
In this crafty chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make their own paper from used paper they may have otherwise thrown away.

Heart and Lungs
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

Digit's Cyber-Dough
Source Institutions
In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

Building a 3-D Space Maze: Escher Staircase
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

Kites
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

Homework, Hogwarts Style
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 8 of the PDF (Behind the Scenes with Chemistry), learners make three of Harry Potter's essential school supplies: quills, ink, and color-changing paper.

Our Sense of Sight: Color Vision
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

Curious Contraptions
Source Institutions
In this engineering design activity, learners will design, test, and build a “haunting machine” to solve a Sherlockian mystery.

Moo Glue
Source Institutions
Using a milk-based recipe, learners create "moo glue" which is basically white school-type glue. The "secret ingredient" in milk that helps make glue is a chemical called casein.

Trebuchet Toss

Genetics the Easy Way
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make critters out of recyclables and apply the rules of mathematics to solve genetics problems.

Excavating and Mapping Under Water
Source Institutions
In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

Size, Scale and Models
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

Environmental Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

Build Your Own Robot Arm
Source Institutions
In this lesson, learners develop a robot arm using common materials. Learners explore design, construction, and teamwork, as well as materials selection and use.
