Explore Like a Scientist: Fruity Observations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.

Boats Afloat
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

Clay Beams and Columns
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

Lengths of Ladybugs
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length.

Measuring UP!
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners use inchworm measuring tools to measure the lengths of several objects in the room.

Block Neighborhood
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will build a neighborhood out of blocks and cardboard.

Introduction to Ocean Zones
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

Wonderful Weather
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

Energetic Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how hot and cold water move. Learners observe that temperature and density affect how liquids rise and fall.

Prepare for a Dock Shop Field Trip
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore what makes a boat float and sink. They examine and test various objects to determine why objects float or sink.

Water Exploration Station
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

Painting a Picture with Air
Source Institutions
Create a painting by blowing air out of a straw. Push liquid acrylic paint around on some watercolor paper by aiming short bursts of air onto the paint puddle.

Sketch a Skeleton
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 15-18 of PDF), learners make a life-size two-dimensional paper model of their own skeletons.

Circuit Bending with Play-Doh
Source Institutions
Break open that used musical toy and squish some Play-Doh over the circuit boards, and you will hear some weird and distorted sounds the manufacturer never intended!

Exploring Ramps
Source Institutions
This guide features three related ramp explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: when placed on a ramp, some objects roll, others slide, and others stay put; the shape
Tropical Belt
Source Institutions
This lesson familiarizes learners with the term "tropical belt." First, learners locate the equator, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn on a map and trace these lines with a crayon.

Tricky Tangrams
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 49-54 of PDF), learners play with tangrams, a set of triangles, squares and a parallelogram that can combine into a larger square as well as all sorts of other shapes.

Paper Bridges
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build bridges using paper and explore how much weight each bridge design can support.

Temperature Time Warp
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the behavior of cold-blooded animals. Learners discover what happens when they change a fly's temperature.

Habitat Observations
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners discover the wonders of the habitat surrounding them.
