Where Does Life Live?
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 22-24 of the PDF), learners match extreme enviroments with life forms they support.

Exploring the Universe: Filtered Light
Source Institutions
"Exploring the Universe: Filtered Light" demonstrates how scientists can use telescopes and other tools to capture and filter different energies of light to study the universe.

Lose a Glass in a Glass
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners use paint thinner to make a small jar seem to disappear inside a larger jar.

Pedal Power
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners examine bicycle mechanics and gear ratios. Learners determine which gears will help them bike a set course in the shortest amount of time.

Calendarios para cualquier año
Source Institutions
Este Web site contiene links a 12 calendarios (12 meses). Cada mes contiene actividades sobre matemáticas.

Paint by the Numbers
Source Institutions
In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

Build a Lever
Source Institutions
Learners build a lever and use it to lift a load. With the load on one end of the ruler, learners add coins to the effort cup at the other end until the load is lifted.

Root Beer Float
Source Institutions
In this quick activity/demonstration about density, learners examine what happens when two cans of root beer--one diet and one regular--are placed in a large container of water.

Toad Toy
Source Institutions
In this activity, the learner will explore hand eye coordination while using a variation of the ball and cup game.

How can Clouds Help Keep the Air Warmer?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how air warms when it condenses water vapor or makes clouds.

Gravity Fountains
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.
Giant Museum: Create a Scale Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will predict the size of a giant scale model of a comb or other rectangular object, then make one. If you tripled the size of a dollar bill, could you sit on it?

Jacques Cousteau in Seashells
Source Institutions
Up close, an array of dots could look random, but take a step back, and an image forms. By tracing over an image, learners can create their own dot based image.

Ice Fishing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use string and salt to lift an ice cube out of a glass of water. Salt depresses the freezing point of water, allowing it to melt around the string and refreeze.

Spinning Blackboard
Source Institutions
Create beautiful spirals by drawing a straight line. This sounds crazy, but you can with a turntable (a record player or lazy susan), paper, and pen.

Discovering Rainforest Locations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.

Pocket Protractor
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create angle-measuring devices--protractors--out of paper. Learners follow a series of steps to fold a square sheet of paper into a triangular Pocket Protractor.

Magnetic Free Fall
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a pencil, magnets, and mat board to illustrate Newton's Second Law.

Flower Dissection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners perform a plant dissection to gain a better understanding of a plant’s structure and function.
Paper Bag Skits: Using Size and Measurement
Source Institutions
Put the math of measurement, numbers, and everyday life into improvisational skits.
