In this activity, learners create their own constellations and star patterns and write a short, descriptive story explaining the significance of their star pattern/constellation.

This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.

In this activity, a lightbulb is placed in front of a concave mirror. The actual lightbulb is not visible to the viewer, but the viewer can see the mirror image of the lightbulb formed in space.

In this physics activity, learners conduct two experiments to explore free-falling.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Learners manipulate opaque, sealed boxes and attempt to determine their interior structures. Each box contains a moving ball and one or more fixed barriers.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

Role-playing the parts of chromosomes and centrioles, learners use large chromosome models and nylon cords (spindle fibers and cell membranes) to walk through the processes of mitosis and meiosis.

Learners compare the properties of two balls that appear identical. One ball bounces, while the other ball "thuds." The “bounce” ball is made of the polymer polybutadiene (-C4H4-).

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

This activity allows learners to explore the scientific method in an open-ended fashion, using the 4-P Approach to Science Inquiry developed by the University of Wisconsin, Beloit.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the process used to cast and mold molten metal, glass, and plastics.

In this math activity, learners use gingerbread cookies to collect and organize simple data. First, learners read "The Gingerbread Boy" by Paul Galdone.

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

Learners and their families celebrate and recognize the importance of making healthy choices every day by participating in a health fair.

During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners catch and observe water striders to explore their movement and feeding behaviors.

Using zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), elodea and an indicator dye, learners study the role of light in photosynthesis.
