In this activity, learners verify that the Sun appears in a different location at a specific time every day of the year with one exception: on the Equinoxes.

This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

In this easy chemistry activity, learners submerge pennies in different liquids (water, lemon juice, vinegar, liquid hand soap, salt water, and baking soda mixed with water) to observe which best clea

In this food science activity, learners explore digestion and proteins by observing the action of meat tenderizer on luncheon meat.

In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF), learners make a "mini-globe" to investigate the causes of day and night on our planet.

In this activity, learners investigate the formation of craters. Learners will examine how the size, angle and speed of a meteorite's impact affects the properties of craters.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity lets learners use star maps (included) to find constellations and to identify stars with extrasolar planets (Northern Hemisphere only, naked eye).

In this activity, learners recrystallize substances from solutions and make observations about the resulting crystals. This test can help further identify the unknown.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Sailboat Design Activity), learners will discover how the shape of an object, not just its weight, determines whether it floats or sinks.

In this fun hands-on activity learners explore a simple machine: the lever. What happens to a load when you multiply the length of a lever? Find out here!

In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

In this activity, learners create a simple “top” from a CD, marble and bottle cap, and use it as a spinning platform for a variety of illusion-generating patterns.

In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.

Learners follow a three-step process to start their own rock collection.

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

In this activity, learners explore how objects can have positive, negative, or neutral charges, which attract, repel and move between objects.

In this activity, learners create a mind and math puzzle that requires a three-dimensional solution.

In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.

In this activity, learners will estimate the sizes of balls to learn how to estimate the size of hail. Learners will compare their estimates to the estimates of their peers and the real measurements.
