In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.

In this activity (page 105 of the PDF), learners measure heart rate and blood pressure and learn how to obtain consistent measurements during repeated tests.

Learners cut out pictures of continents and attempt to put them together to form Pangaea, the supercontinent present on the Earth approximately 300 million years ago.

Create a simple dual pendulum and get them to swing in identical ways. This is a simple, low cost, activity produced by the Exploratorium.

In this math lesson, learners practice estimation and measurement skills as they move from station to station calculating length, volume, weight, and area.

This activity (aka "snack") provides instructions for discovering your blind spot. It is an exploration of light and visual perception using simple materials you may have around the house.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and skeletons. First, learners listen to "Tyrannosaurus Rex" by Daniel Cohen to learn about T. rex dinosaurs specifically.

In this activity, learners investigate how wolves communicate with each other through different body postures.

In this activity, learners try to blow up a balloon hanging inside of an empty bottle.

In this activity, learners cut out 5 paper cards and label them with 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 dot(s) to explore binary digits.

Learners examine what happens when a tube spins in two directions at once. They push on a cardboard tube causing it to spin along its length while at the same time turning from end-to-end.

In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of inertia by attempting to run and stop quickly.

In this activity, learners see how many coins they can add to a full glass of water before the water overflows.

In this activity, learners plan and create a 24-foot long, two-dimensional model of our solar system, and compare and contrast the differences between planets and the sun.

In this activity about weights and balances, learners create their own balance using paper cups. Then, learners explore how to compare the relative mass of objects.

In this biology activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners roll a die to create a simple model that teaches them about the factors contributing to heart disease.

In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

Learners test two jars containing hot water, one covered with plastic and one open, for changes in temperature.

In this activity about how the body regulates blood pressure (page 117 of the PDF), learners make and compare measurements of heart rate and blood pressure from three body positions: sitting, standing

In this activity, learners explore the etymology of dinosaur names.
