In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

In this activity, learners make optical fibers out of strips of gelatin.

In this activity, learners use detergent solution to compare two solutions containing vinegar and cream of tartar.

In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

Many germs spread by our hands, and often times, people don't wash their hands well enough to get rid of germs.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.

Learners carefully look at four known household crystals.

In this activity, learners discover how gelatin can be used as a medium for drug delivery. Learners create colored gelatin and then cut out pieces of the gelatin to simulate medicine (pills).

Each learner chews a piece of gum until it loses its flavor, and then leaves the gum to dry for several days.

In this outdoor fall activity, learners find out what living in or under a layer of leaves is like.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this kitchen chemistry activity, learners explore the chemistry of crystals by making sugar crystals, consider a common chemical reaction type responsible for the rising of muffins and cake in the

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners test different materials to find out which is the best insulator.

In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to the capture-recapture statistical procedure.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.
