In this nutrition and estimation activity (page 12 of PDF), learners estimate serving sizes of different foods and compare their estimates to serving size information provided on nutrition food labels

Learners build a solar oven from a cardboard pizza box, aluminum foil and plastic. Learners can use their oven to cook S'mores or other food in the sun.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

In this activity, learners use Starburst® candy to sort, classify, compare, and graph. Learners grab a handful of one-inch candy squares, sort them by color, graph the candy, and discuss the results.

In this math lesson, learners use slices of bread and geoboards to explore several ways to divide a rectangle in half. Learners also identify equivalent fractions that represent one-half.

In this activity, learners will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.

In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed big wheels or Ferris wheels.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

In this design challenge, learners will use microbes to design and grow a custom biomaterial at home and make something creative with it.

In this math lesson, learners are introduced to proportional reasoning through modeling, sharing, and questioning techniques.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore how product design differences can affect the success of a final product -- in this case a bag for holding candy.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Sailboat Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization.

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners make their own water treatment systems for cleaning water.
