In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

In this activity, learners burn a peanut, which produces a flame that can be used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between cooling water vapor and condensation. Learners investigate condensation forming on the outside of a cold cup.

In this activity, learners observe hard parts of sea creatures (shells, molts, etc.) to better understand marine environments.

In this activity about light and perception, learners create and observe moire patterns.

In this activity, learners work in groups of four to explore light. Learners create new colors from the primary colors of light from flashlights covered in theatrical gels or cellophane.

As learners play this challenging strategy game, they build understanding of area and perimeter. On each turn, a player draws a line between two dots next to each other on the grid.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can model how vibrating particles, such as in a sound wave, bump into other particles causing them to vibrate, and that the vib

In this activity (26th on the page), learners construct an easy-to-build device and test motor learning.

In this engineering activity, learners test the stability of towers they build out of cups, discovering that structures with more mass in the base are more stable.

In this chemistry challenge, learners work to figure out which of four juices are real, and which is just food coloring and sugar.

In this activity, learners use gumdrops and toothpicks to model the composition and molecular structure of three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4).

In this quick activity about predicting (located on page 2 of the PDF under Where's Nano?

In this chemistry activity, learners use the lowered freezing point of water to chill another mixture (ice cream) to the solid state.

In this activity, learners make water-walking critters using thin wire, and then test how many paper clips these critters can carry without sinking.

In this physics activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will witness the effects of free fall by observing falling water, and will gain a better understanding of the concept of weightlessness.

In this activity, learners create volcanoes like those they have examined on Earth and Mars through images taken by spacecraft.

In this activity, learners experiment with how dish soap and fat interact by making a colorful swirl.

In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.

In this activity, learners become detectives and use chemistry to investigate fingerprints.
