In this activity about ramps, learners explore and measure the rate at which spherical objects roll down a ramp.

In this activity, learners investigate how different materials repel or absorb water. Learners use spray bottles to explore how everyday items like sponges, cardboard, feathers, etc.

In this experiment, learners separate different types of molecules in marker inks (using a technique called "thin layer chromatography").

In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

In this activity, learners listen to a story and tell a story of their own as they learn about the importance of elders in Native American cultures.

In this up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

In this math activity, learners estimate how many pennies are in a jar by predicting and counting handfuls of pennies.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 108: My Ice Pops, learners observe reversible change while thinking about ways to make ice melt.

In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.

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

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

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their height in pennies.

This is an activity about discovering the colors and beauty of nature. Learners will spend time outdoors, matching paint chip samples, colored paper, or colors of clothing to those found in nature.

In this math game, learners toss plastic cups to land just right and collect points to win.

In this math activity, learners predict how many pom-poms they can toss inside a circle from three feet away. Use this activity to help learners explore probability.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity uses a variety of simple props to help learners understand why they see what they see in a telescope.

In this activity, learners observe, explore and investigate vibrating instruments in everyday places and create music in unique ways.

In this activity, learners observe color mixing and absorbency using colored tissue paper and spray bottles.
