In this activity about cartography, learners work in teams to create two different map projections: a planar (or polar) and a cylindrical (or Mercator) projection.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this activity, learners control the (apparent) size of a hole with their brain.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

In this activity, learners explore how eating unhealthy food can damage a heart and arteries.

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

Learners construct a bracelet containing two strands of beads, which represents a double strand of DNA that codes for a gene. They match beads to the bases in a section of a chimp's DNA code.

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

In this activity (on page 146 of the PDF), learners will explore the effects of increased carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.

This is an activity about friction as well as kinetic and potential energy.

In this activity (page 105 of the PDF), learners measure heart rate and blood pressure and learn how to obtain consistent measurements during repeated tests.

Create a simple dual pendulum and get them to swing in identical ways. This is a simple, low cost, activity produced by the Exploratorium.

In this activity, learners cut out 5 paper cards and label them with 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 dot(s) to explore binary digits.

In this biology activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners roll a die to create a simple model that teaches them about the factors contributing to heart disease.

In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

In this activity about how the body regulates blood pressure (page 117 of the PDF), learners make and compare measurements of heart rate and blood pressure from three body positions: sitting, standing

In this activity about computer programming, learners follow instructions in a variety of ways in order to successfully draw figures.

Learners create a small explosion by collecting hydrogen and oxygen gas together and squeezing them into a flame.
