An outdoor scavenger hunt helps learners consider the theme of "What Is Life?" Learners explore what living organisms are, including how organisms meet basic needs of food, shelter and water to surviv

In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.

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

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a plastic protein polymer from milk. Adding vinegar to milk causes the protein casein to solidify or curdle.

In this activity, learners use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.

In this fascinating and fun experiment, learners use chemistry to identify a mystery powder and to solve a "crime," a process similar to that used by real forensic scientists.

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

In this math lesson, learners explore tessellations through literature, music, writing, and art activities.

In this activity, learners discover how a cabbage juice indicator helps identify acids and bases, and how iodine indicates the presence of starch.

Learners explore soybeans, soak them in water to remove their coat, and then split them open to look inside. They also make a musical shaker out of paper cups, a cardboard tube, and soybeans.

In this activity, learners make balloon models of disease-causing bacteria.

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

In this activity, learners explore chemistry and the microbial world by making their own sourdough starter and bread at home using only flour and water.

This exercise is designed to teach young learners the different parts of a plant (root, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds), the basic functions of each part, and to show that tiny microscopic o

This lesson gives full instructions for making cabbage juice indicator, a procedure sheet for learners to record observations as they use the indicator to test materials, and extension activities to d

In this set of outdoor games, learners increase their awareness of the outdoor environment by going on a scavenger hunt and an out-of-place hunt.

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

Build a fruit fly trap out of a 2-liter plastic bottle and some rotten fruit! Fruit flies are easy to catch in warm weather. Once you catch some, you will be able to see their life cycle up-close.

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

This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.
