Bones
Source Institutions
In this health activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore a unique connection betweeen the bones of the body.

What is a Nanometer?
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.

Counting With Quadrants
Source Institutions
Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

Patterns and Functions: Fill 'er Up
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners predict, interpret, and sketch graphs of functions related to the shapes of bottles. A measure of water is poured into a container.

Having a Gas with Cola
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

Mass of the Earth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

Rates of Change: Bottles and Divers
Source Institutions
In this math lesson (page 2 of the PDF), learners use bottles of various shapes to explore the abstract concept of rate of change.

Measure the Speed of a Water Leak
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will measure the rate at which water streams out of a leaky cup.

Catch Your Breath: Build a Spirometer and Measure your Lung Capacity
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will measure their lung capacity by making their own spirometer. Learners will then explore factors that affect the amount of air the lungs can hold.

Measuring Your Breathing Frequency at Rest
Source Institutions
In this activity about the brain and sleep (on page 138 of the PDF), learners measure their resting breathing rates. Learners will discover that breathing frequencies vary amongst individuals.

Airplane Wing Investigation
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into Bernoulli’s principle and airplane wings.

Soccer Kicks
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.

The Ability of Permeability
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 11 of the PDF), learners investigate how quickly water moves through various materials. They measure and compare the permeability of gravel, sand, and soil.

Pennies for Pits
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners use fruit to learn about proportions and percentages. Learners compare the weights of the edible and non-edible portions of fruit.

Inflate-a-mole
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find the volume of one mole of gas. Learners capture sublimated gas from dry ice in a ziploc bag and use water displacement to measure its volume.

Breaking Point
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

Meteoroids and the Craters They Make
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the formation of craters. Learners will examine how the size, angle and speed of a meteorite's impact affects the properties of craters.

Can Energy be Created or Destroyed?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

Test the Finger Wrinkle Hypothesis
Source Institutions
Learners create a tool to measure how well they grip a wet object when their fingers are smooth versus wrinkly. Are smooth or wrinkly fingers better at holding on to the object?
