In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.

In this activity, learners explore the Great Plains.

In this bilingual (English/Spanish) activity, learners create family trees by tracing the hands of their family members.

In this hands-on activity, learners track and record the passage of colored "pompom traits" through three generations of gingerbread people.

In this activity, learners are challenged to track and record the passage of colored pom poms (representing genes) through generations of a family using a pedigree.

In this activity about encryption, learners cut out a secret decoder badge from a handout and use it to encode messages to each other.

In this health activity (on page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about the body‘s defenses against invasion from tiny particles.

In this activity, learners work in teams to construct human lung models from small plastic beverage bottles and balloons.

In this activity about electricity, learners imagine that they are out in the wilderness and it is getting dark. Their task is to use the materials supplied to build a simple flashlight.

In this activity, learners discover how their heart rate changes in different situations.

A group of learners has an envelope containing a series of bank checks. A few checks are removed at a time, and the team attempts to construct a plausible scenario which involves those checks.

In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the carbon cycle using movement and props to aid in comprehension.

In this activity, early learners create paintings by making music and rhythm. Learners place paper in cans, add paint-soaked beans (or pebbles) and put the tops on.

Working in small groups, learners receive a written scenario regarding a bacterium with a certain goal it must carry out.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity), learners will model how caves are formed by placing one piece of chalk in a cup of vinegar and another piece in a cup of water, then

In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

Learners explore the physical properties of a variety of balls and how they bounce.

In this activity, learners identify the reproductive parts of plants and the animal (bee) structures involved in pollination.
