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 set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.

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

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

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

Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.

In this experiment, learners will conduct chemical and physical tests to identify mystery substances.

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.

This is a perfect summertime lunch activity! Pico Cricket is required (micro controller). First, get a bunch of cut up fruit, line them up, then plug a piece of fruit with a Pico Cricket sensor clip.

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

In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.

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

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.
