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

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA.

In this math activity (Page 8 of the Dining Out! PDF), younger learners select items from a menu and count out the total amount needed using the fewest bills and coins possible.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon?

In this investigation learners explore the differences between, and interdependence of, living and nonliving elements in a water ecosystem.

In this activity, learners review and discuss weathering, erosion and mass wasting, to gain a stronger understanding of how Hickory Run’s Boulder Field was formed after the Laurentide Continental Glac

In this activity, learners use gumdrops and toothpicks to model the composition and molecular structure of three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4).

In this activity, learners investigate whether having sugar already dissolved in water affects the speed of dissolving and the movement of sugar and color through the water.

In this activity about water solubility and density, learners use critical thinking skills to determine why water can dissolve some things and not others.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

In this activity about human anatomy (page 20 of PDF), learners investigate the structure of muscles by comparing yarn and cooked meat.

In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

In this activity, learners investigate carbon sequestration by creating a carbonated beverage out of apple juice and dry ice.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

In this bilingual (English/Spanish) activity, learners create family trees by tracing the hands of their family members.

In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.
