In this outdoor activity, learners measure familiar objects in nature to practice working with the metric system.

In this weather activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the water cycle through an interactive game.

In this activity, learners discover why only some types of plastic can be recycled.

In this outdoor simulation game, learners search for pretend animals called "sticklers" to determine and map where they live (habitat) and how spread out they are in that area (distribution).

In this design challenge activity, learners add a jet-propulsion system (i.e. a balloon) to a blimp so it flies straight and far under its own power.

In this activity (pages 32-41), learners learn how the atomic and molecular arrangement of matter are related to physical properties.

In this design challenge activity, learners add headphones to a previously built instrument (see "Build a Band" activity) to make it easier to hear.

In this activity, learners determine the elastic and plastic properties of different types of metal wires.

Get all wrapped up in a lesson about skin!

In this creative outdoor activity, learners invent populations of make-believe organisms and then investigate real populations living in the activity site.

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

This simulation helps learners understand what happens to food as it passes through the digestive system.

In this activity, learners explore how molecules must fit together, like a lock and key, in order to identify each other and initiate a new function as a combined unit.

In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

In this web-based activity, learners try to figure out who in an online chat room has their matching puzzle piece.

Learners measure irregularly shaped bones using a variety of measurement methods and tools. Then, they measure again using standard conventions and metric tape measures.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

In this lesson, learners will understand the concepts behind endangered and extinct animals and develop their own conservation plan to save three endangered species.

In this lesson, learners will practice graphing and statistically analyzing data.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from yeast using simple materials.
