The Chinese invented paper made from plants and cloth about 2,000 years ago. Learners follow a similar process to make paper from recycled paper.

In this activity, learners explore physics by building a catapult that launches marshmallows with household objects.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

Learners examine the manufacturing process while they make picture frames from cereal boxes.

In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will explore how static electricity affects surrounding objects.

In this activity, learners follow simple directions to explore and create platonic solids.

In this lesson plan, learners examine some of the of greenhouse gas emissions sources in their community.

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

In this activity, learners make a model of a power plant that uses steam. Learners use simple materials like foil, a tin can, and a pot of water to model a geothermal power plant.

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under What's Nano? Activity) about size and scale.

Learners investigate weight by building a spring scale. They observe and record how it responds to objects with different masses.

In this activity, learners will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.

In this activity, learners create a toy that demonstrates the First Law of Thermodynamics or the Law of Conservation of Energy.

In this activity learners compare the bounciness of warm and cold racquetballs to see if temperature makes a difference in how well they bounce.

In this activity about electricity, learners explore what happens when you blow a fuse.

In this activity, learners create their own obstacle course based on Bernoulli's Principle and try to get a floating ball from the start of their course to the finish line.

In this activity (located on pages 9-14 of PDF), learners visit a cemetery to examine the distinguishing characteristics of rock weathering.

Learners investigate signs of a chemical reaction when they mix vinegar and baking soda. In addition to a gas being produced, learners also notice the temperature decreases.

Many germs spread by our hands, and often times, people don't wash their hands well enough to get rid of germs.
