Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.

In this math lesson, learners count and compare amounts of money less than or equal to one dollar.

In this activity, learners build a game that tests their steadiness. Learners construct the game board by setting up an electrical circuit and a wand.

In this activity, learners discover how geologists use stratigraphy, the study of layered rock, to understand the sequence of geological events.

Learners explore water's property of cohesion through two investigations.

This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

In this activity related to indoor air pollution, learners build take-home dust catchers with wax paper and petroleum jelly.

In this activity, learners play a simple card game to learn the sequence of events in the transmission of nervous system signals.

Learners observe a model of a cell and its chromosomal DNA made from a plastic egg and dental floss. Use this model to illustrate how much DNA is held in one cell.

Learners use red cabbage juice and pH indicator paper to test the acidity and basicity of household materials. The activity links this concept of acids and bases to acid rain and other pollutants.

In this food science activity, learners explore digestion and proteins by observing the action of meat tenderizer on luncheon meat.

Learners display their findings after a study of surface area and volume. They build a mobile to show a commercially available box and a constructed cubical box of the same volume.

In this neuroscience activity, learners conduct a simulation to demonstrate how multiple incoming signals influence the action of neurons.

In this activity, learners examine how brine shrimp populations can survive in some of the harshest environments.

In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF), learners make a "mini-globe" to investigate the causes of day and night on our planet.

In this activity, learners use models of fossilized dinosaur teeth to understand how dinosaur teeth were used.

This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

In this math lesson, learners use hinged mirrors to discover that regular polygons are composed of triangles tessellating around a center point.

In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.
