In this neuroscience activity, learners conduct a simulation to demonstrate how multiple incoming signals influence the action of neurons.

This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity), learners will use food cans of many different properties (sizes, shapes, and weights) and set two cans on their sides at

In this activity, learners discover how to determine the distance to a lightning strike or nearby thunderstorm.

This simple, yet surprising physics demonstration challenges preconceptions about forces, and demonstrates the strength of atmospheric pressure.

Did you know that you would be a different age if you lived on Mars? It's true!

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

This is a quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this activity, learners explore their eye pupils and how they change.

In this activity, learners discover how the extent of various wind speeds changes in each of the four quadrants around a hurricane.

In this simple activity, learners investigate refraction by placing a picture of an arrow behind a glass of water.

In this activity, learners observe what happens when they give a light source like a neon glow lamp a "Bronx Cheer." The lights appear to wiggle back and forth and flicker when learners blow air throu

In this activity, learners use their imaginations and picture a scene in their heads.

In this simple demonstration, learners investigate the properties of air pressure. Learners place an index card on top of a glass full of water, then invert the glass.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a handkerchief holds water in an upside-down glass.

In this outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

In this online Flash game, learners will captain a sailing challenge, adjusting boat direction and sails, seeking the way to take greatest advantage of varying wind speeds and directions to catch the

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this optics activity, learners experiment with polarizers (small dark rectangles) to examine light intensity.
