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

In this physics activity, learners assemble and/or investigate a pendulum "snake." Several large steel hex-nuts are suspended on strings of successively increasing length to form a series of pendulums

Learners use Duplo bricks to build antibodies with shapes that match model viruses.

In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of force and how pulleys are used in everyday life to make work easier.

In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.

In this physical sciences activity, learners use science to solve a "crime." Learners collect trace evidence (glitter) and explore its characteristics, such as color, size, shape, and light reflection

In this activity, learners test the pH of safe liquids available at home by creating a pH indicator from mashed blueberries.

In this chemistry investigation, learners combine common cooking substances (flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, oil, water, food coloring) to explore mixtures.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that’s at least 12 inches high with two or more parts that move (spin, sway, or flap) in the wind.

In this activity, learners look at and touch marine animal skulls to compare them and think about what they eat.

Make your own "Dance Dance Revolution" dance pad! In this design challenge activity, learners work in teams to build a dance pad that lets you use your feet to sound a buzzer or flash a light.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into tree growth rates.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about nanotechnology making its way into everyday products, such as sunscreen, and how effective these invisible particl

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

Using electrolysis, learners produce hydrogen gas and oxygen gas from water molecules in a solution.

In this activity, learners explore trebuchet design. Teams of learners construct trebuchets from everyday materials.

In this activity, learners are challenged to calculate their own weight on various planets using a scale and calculator. Older learners may be challenged to do so without using calculators.

In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.

In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.
