Mapping Greenhouse Gas Emissions Where You Live
Source Institutions
In this lesson plan, learners examine some of the of greenhouse gas emissions sources in their community.
Hanging Around
Learners investigate weight by building a spring scale. They observe and record how it responds to objects with different masses.
Special Snack: Budgeting for Health
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will plan a snack within a budget. With a $20 limit (theoretical) to spend on snack for everyone, learners look over grocery store circulars and make their shopping lists.
Evolution in Plane Sight
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.
Bones
Source Institutions
In this health activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore a unique connection betweeen the bones of the body.
Geometry: Tiling the Plaza
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners arrange pattern blocks to create tessellations and to explore geometric patterns. Learners first explore making patterns with a variety of pattern blocks.
Paddle Boat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build an old-fashioned paddle boat out of simple materials.
Number Systems and Number Theory: Factor Game
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners play a game to identify the properties of prime, composite, abundant, deficient and perfect numbers.
Paper Drop Design Competition
Source Institutions
Using paper, paper clips, an index card, and tape, teams of learners design flying devices to (1) stay in the air as long as possible and (2) land as close as possible to a given target.
Wind Turbine
Source Institutions
Learners build a wind turbine and test it to see how much energy is created.
Electric Gamebox Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent a pinball-like game where a kick stick hits a ping pong ball into a target that buzzes.
On Target
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners modify a cup so it can carry a marble down a zip line and also drop it onto a target.
Wolf Survival is Just a Roll Away

Getting Your Bearings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.
Avogadro's Bubbly Adventure
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.
Simple Machine Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged, using everyday objects, to create simple machines to complete specific tasks.
Shake and Make: Charge Recognition
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 10), learners explore how molecules self-assemble according to forces of attraction and repulsion.
Earth Walk
Source Institutions
In this hands-on and feet-on excursion, learners take a science walk to visualize the planet's immense size and numerous structures, without the usual scale and ratio dimensions found in most textbook
