In this activity, learners add objects and substances to carbonated water to discover that added objects increase the rate at which dissolved gas comes out of solution.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Animal Scent Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into animal behavior.

In this activity, learners observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this activity about osmosis, learners use a naked egg (one with a dissolved eggshell) to learn about selectively permeable membranes.

DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique. This activity allows you to see long, stringy strands of DNA extracted from wheat germ.

Learners make a "menu" of any plants in their lunch for Monday through Friday and draw the plants from their lunch.

This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon?

In this math lesson, learners make estimates to analyze the number of apples per acre, and visualize the magnitude of one million.

The Ancient Egyptians used a naturally-occurring salt from the banks of the Nile River, called natron, to mummify their dead.

In this chemistry activity, learners perform three chemical reactions in a sealed zip-top bag. Learners will record their observations and classify the changes as chemical or physical.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 8 of PDF), learners estimate average daily baseline energy (Calorie) needs and energy needs for different levels of activity.

In this activity (page 32 of PDF), learners investigate the nutritional needs of healthy bones and muscles.

In this activity about human anatomy (page 20 of PDF), learners investigate the structure of muscles by comparing yarn and cooked meat.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.
