Polymers are Chains (K-2)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.

Animal House
Source Institutions
The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

Exploring a Complex Space-Filling Shape
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.

Bobbing Eyeballs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple materials and basic tools to construct a special toy to explore pendulums. As the head of the toy bobs one way, the eyeballs bob the other way.

How Many Pennies?
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 13-14), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

Paper Airplanes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the properties of paper by constructing and modifying paper airplanes.

Dough Creatures
Source Institutions
In this technology activity, learners light up the room with electrifying play dough creations. Learners use conductive and insulating homemade play dough to build simple circuits.

Trophy Triathlon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a trophy for prize-winning sports equipment.

Floating and Falling Flows
Learners create beautiful fluid motion. They explore fluid dynamics, surface tension, solubility, and buoyancy while mixing liquids together.

Tops
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

Density Rainbow and the Great Viscosity Race
Learners conduct two activities to investigate two properties of liquids: density and viscosity. In a clear container, learners stack 7 different liquids which will layer according to their density.

Potion Commotion
Source Institutions
In this hands-on science experiment, students combine their understanding of the different states of matter and the characteristics of various chemical reactions.

Measurement: Sand Babies
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore and investigate measurement using standard and non-standard units.
Cycles in the Cards
Source Institutions
In this "game," learners explore and relate the evolution of stars to a Navajo creation story. The story is written on a series of cards, which are laid on a table as the story is told.

Building with Wonderful Junk
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

The Proof is in the Powder
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will design a way to identify a powder found at a crime scene by comparing it with known powders, with the goal of solving a crime.

Clay Beams and Columns
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

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.

Moving On Up: Capillary Action II
Source Institutions
Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.

Building Bingo
Source Institutions
In this on site "field trip" activity (located on pages 6-9 of PDF), learners get hands-on experience identifying building materials by playing "Building Bingo".
