This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Where's Nano? Activity) about identifying nanoscale objects and phenomena in today's world.

In this math lesson, learners explore tessellations through literature, music, writing, and art activities.

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

Learners use engineering design principles to construct and test a fully solar-powered car. Solar car kits usually include a photovoltaic cell and motor; some include a chassis as well.

In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.

In this math activity, learners collect, organize, and analyze a set of data related to types of animals in the temperate forest.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.

In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.

In this activity (located on pages 9-14 of PDF), learners visit a cemetery to examine the distinguishing characteristics of rock weathering.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

In this math lesson, learners participate in several activities where they apply measurement skills.

In this activity, learners simulate the energy transfer between the earth and space by using the light from a desk lamp desk lamp with an incandescent bulb and a stack of glass plates.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this two-part activity about the connection between the lupine plant and butterflies, learners first read "Miss Rumphius," a storybook about lupine by Barbara Cooney.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.
