In this design challenge, learners will use microbes to design and grow a custom biomaterial at home and make something creative with it.

In this activity (on pages 24-34), learners explore the four-part stomach of cows (and other grazing animals called ruminants), and compare it to the human one-part stomach and its digestive process.

In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

In this activity (page 26 of the PDF), learners make observations, formulate hypotheses and design a controlled experiment, based on the reaction of carbon dioxide with calcium hydroxide.

Did you know that the water we use today is the same water found on Earth millions of years ago? The Earth constantly uses and recycles water in a process called the water cycle.

In this activity, learners create their own experiment and test which of 4 mixtures of household chemicals turn pennies green over 5 days.

This activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into testing a repair material.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

In this activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla

In this activity, learners create a soil and water model of a single-cell life environment and study living microorganisms.

In this kitchen chemistry activity, learners explore the chemistry of crystals by making sugar crystals, consider a common chemical reaction type responsible for the rising of muffins and cake in the

In this multi-station lab, learners conduct a series of experiments to explore the processes and effects of weathering and erosion.

Learners observe and compare the sizes of three toy “growing” crocodiles made from water-absorbent polymers. One is it its original state, dry, hard, and about 10cm long.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into g-force and acceleration.

In this laboratory activity, learners design an experiment to evaluate how environmental factors influence the growth of molds.

In this 6-7 day investigation, learners begin with an introduction to seamounts that are present in the Gulf of Alaska.

In this exercise and nutrition activity, learners will explore how food is the fuel that powers them. They will create a chart to figure out how many calories they burn during recess.

In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.
