In this math lesson, learners explore probability.

Paper Cup Stool
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.
Size Them Up: Learning About Volume and Capacity
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will put a set of containers in order by capacity. Would the tallest container hold more or less water than the wide, short one?

Take Out the Trash
Source Institutions
Learners explore how recyclers take advantage of the different properties of materials, such as magnetism and density, to separate them from a mixture.
Fair Shares: Predict Equal Shares
Source Institutions
Use this activity to build division and number sense into any snack time or whenever there is a limited set of things to share among a group: If we deal these out, could everyone get two pieces?

Wet Art
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

That's the Way the Ball Bounces: Level 1
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, size, and bounce height.

¡Separando Colores!
Source Institutions
En esta actividad, los aprendices aprenderán que es la cromatografía y cómo usarla para separar diferentes sustancias - en este caso,usarán los colores.

Magnetic Pendulum

In this activity about magnetism (page 15 of the PDF), learners will explore how opposite and similar magnetic poles affect a swinging (pendulum) magnet.

Stereo Hanger
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate sound wave science, in stereo! Learners construct a "stereo" out of a metal coat hanger and piece of string to explore sound vibrations.

Penny Cup Game
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out why two eyes are better than one!

Limewater
Source Institutions
This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 6 of the PDF). Students make a limewater testing solution for carbon dioxide and explore the concepts of solubility and precipitates.

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

Straws and Pins
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build bridges and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with straws and pins.

Junk-in-the-Box
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners explore how a surprising number of animals use human-made litter, such as cans and crumpled paper, to find food and shelter in their environment.

See the Colors in Leaves
Source Institutions
Learners use chromatography to separate and analyze the mixture of pigments in leaves. Use this activity to discuss photosynthesis as well as why leaves change color in autumn.
Jump on Tens: Counting Fun
Source Institutions
Learners combine counting, multiples, and number patterns with jumping up and down. To start, pick a counting number.

Parachuting Pinwheel
Source Institutions
Build a pinwheel that works without wind! This activity contains steps on how to build a parachuting pinwheel out of paper, a film canister, and some brads.

Do Plants Need Sunlight?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.

Just a Minute
Source Institutions
How much can you do in one minute? In this activity, learners estimate how many times a partner can complete a task (like writing their name or jumping jacks) in one minute.
