In this math lesson, learners model exponential decay and exponential growth using M&M's, paper folding, and African rhino population data.

In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.

In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratios and percentages to the distribution of letters contained in a box of Alphabits® cereal.

In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this lab exercise, learners explore diffusion, cell membranes and particle size using beets and three alcohols.

In this activity related to rotational inertia (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Microgravity), learners will use a bit of scientific experimenting to test if open-faced peanut butter sandwi

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

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

In this activity, learners cut wells in JELL-O© and load the wells with different detergent solutions.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

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

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

This activity allows learners to explore the scientific method in an open-ended fashion, using the 4-P Approach to Science Inquiry developed by the University of Wisconsin, Beloit.

In this math activity, learners use gingerbread cookies to collect and organize simple data. First, learners read "The Gingerbread Boy" by Paul Galdone.

In this data analysis activity, learners quantify the abundance and distribution of sea scallops in and adjacent to the Mid-Atlantic closed areas.

Can gelatin (like Jell-O ®) change the speed of light?

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

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