In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

In this activity, learners build inexpensive pulley assemblies from pulley wheels used for sliding screen door replacement or from clothesline spreaders.

In this activity, learners use a flexible magnet as a model for a scanning probe microscope (SPM). They learn that SPMs are an example of a special tool that scientists use to work on the nanoscale.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

As a model of acid rain, learners water plants with three different solutions: water only, vinegar only, vinegar-water mixture.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners discover that the human brain is highly adaptable. Learners try to toss beanbags at a target while wearing prism goggles.

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.

In this physical sciences activity, learners use science to solve a "crime." Learners collect trace evidence (glitter) and explore its characteristics, such as color, size, shape, and light reflection

This highly visual model demonstrates the atomic theory of matter which states that a gas is made up of tiny particles of atoms that are in constant motion, smashing into each other.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity (page 7 of PDF), learners will identify the general two-dimensional geometric shape of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater.

In this archaeology activity, learners make observations and conduct an experiment to demonstrate the effect saltwater has on artifacts.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection by encouraging them to formulate questions that can be answered through scientific investi

In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) about how visible light is affected by tiny nanoscale structures, producing iridescence on butterfly wings, soap bubbl
