Learners engage in close observation of falling objects. They determine it is the amount of air resistance, not the weight of an object, which determines how quickly an object falls.

"Nature of Dye" allows participants to create their own dyes and art while exploring how chemicals interact and how these interactions can have real-world applications.

In this fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity, learners construct a model of our place in the Milky Way Galaxy and the distribution of stars, with a quarter and some birdseed.

In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.

In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.

Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda reacting to form carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.

In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

Learners see convection currents in action in this highly visual demonstration. Sealed bags of colored hot or cold water are immersed in tanks of water.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

In this quick activity about predicting (located on page 2 of the PDF under Where's Nano?

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

This three-part activity consists of an activity that groups of learners develop themselves, a given procedure, and an optional demonstration.

In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from
