In this experiment, learners examine the way oil affects bird feathers and test different cleanup methods to find out which works best.

In this activity, learners light an LED with five cents. Learners use two different metals and some sour, salty water to create a cheap battery.

In this crafty chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make their own paper from used paper they may have otherwise thrown away.

In this activity, learners use a laser pointer, empty soda bottle, rubber plug and water to demonstrate total internal reflection.

In this activity, learners work in groups to determine the mass and volume of four samples: glass marbles, steel washers or nuts, pieces of pine wood, and pieces of PVC pipe.

In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

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.

Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their own vital lung capacities.

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 activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Garbology Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization using recycled materials.

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

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

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