In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this design challenge activity, learners design and build a solar hot water heater. Their goal is to create a heater that yields the highest temperature change.

Learners apply their knowledge of heat transfer to design two cans - one that will retain heat and one that will cool down quickly.

In this activity, learners try to float ink on the surface of water to create a pattern and then capture it with absorbent paper.

In this physics related activity which requires adult supervision, learners make their own powerful water rocket and, with it, explore Newton's Third Law of Motion.

In this activity related to microbes, learners use water drops and hand lenses to begin the exploration of magnification. This activity also introduces learners to the microscope.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Bone Regrowth Activity) about the two main components of bone - collagen and minerals (like calcium) - and how they each contribute to its flexibility a

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners create a low-tech refrigerator that requires no electricity to keep food from spoiling.

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

In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

In this demonstration, learners discover that nanoparticles behave differently, in part because they have a high surface area to volume ratio.

In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.
