Ramps 1: Let it Roll!
Source Institutions
In this activity about ramps, learners explore and measure the rate at which spherical objects roll down a ramp.

Smelly Balloons
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners sniff out scents hidden in balloons! After investigating, learners discover we sometimes can use another sense (smell) to detect things too small to see.
Math and Creativity Posters
Source Institutions
These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How many colors can you name in a minute? or How many seconds can you balance on one foot?

TerrAqua Investigation Column: What is the Land-Water Connection?
Source Institutions
In this investigation, learners plant seeds in a 2-liter bottle filled with soil that is connected to a water source below. Over the next few weeks, learners observe how the plants grow.

Rollin’ Rollin' Rollin'
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 12 of the PDF), learners explore potential and kinetic energy by rolling different sized marbles down an inclined plane.
Soaring Towers: Building with Recycled Materials
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

Kimchee Fermentation Chamber
Source Institutions
Learners make kimchee or sauerkraut, which is really just fermented cabbage, in a 2-liter plastic bottle.

Bubbles: Using Controls
In this experiment, learners use JOY liquid detergent and glycerin to make the largest bubble they can that lasts 15 seconds.

Exploring Size: Scented Solutions
Source Institutions
This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).
Five Second Dash
Source Institutions
This is an activity about prediction. How far can you hop in 5 seconds? Could you make it to the door? Across the room? Everyone lines up and tries it.

Three Little Pigs

Choose a recipe to double (or triple, quadruple, or halve). Show everyone the recipe and engage them in figuring out: How much will we need to increase the recipe to feed everyone?

Odors Aloft
Source Institutions
Learners smell balloons filled with different scents to guess what's inside. From this, they infer the presence and motion of scented molecules.

Hot and Cold
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.
