In this math activity related to volume, learners use problem solving skills to calculate and build a model house for Minus the dog.

In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

In this activity, learners take their own pulse and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners explore circadian rhythms by keeping track of their body temperature.

In this health activity, learners create a device so that they not only feel their heartbeat, but also see it, using a straw and some clay.

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?

In this lab activity, learners explore how to initiate a density current. Learners measure six flasks with different concentrations of salt and water (colored blue).

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

Learners investigate why the Sun and Moon appear the same size in the sky even though the Sun is over 400 times larger in diameter.

In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Baby Dinosaurs Activity), learners will look for a relationship between skull size and body length among various dinosaurs.

In this inquiry-based lesson, learners measure the biomass of trees, calculate the carbon stored by the trees, and use this information to create recommendations about using trees for carbon sequestra

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

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?

In this activity about how the body regulates blood pressure (page 117 of the PDF), learners make and compare measurements of heart rate and blood pressure from three body positions: sitting, standing
