In this math lesson, learners identify the likelihood of an event by using a walk-on probability scale.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

In this activity, learners construct an indoors obstacle course and discover how using an eye patch can help them complete the course in the dark.

Wheels aren't the only things that can "roll" objects that are placed on top of it. Make non-intuitive shapes from cutouts and a compass to demonstrate this.

This hands-on astronomy activity allows you to create a “cutaway” telescope to clearly show how reflector and refractor telescopes work.

In this activity, learners investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into mapping the underground “plumbing” of geysers.

In this creative activity, learners will find out what makes an insect an insect by studying examples of insect adaptations and by examining why there are so many different types of insects.

Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

In this activity about depth perception, learners create an optical illusion in a shoe box.

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.

In this activity, learners cut out and assemble wheels to explore how variations in fish body structures (mouth shape/position/teeth, body shape, tail shape, and coloration patterns) allow fish to sur

In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.

Learners add two dyes to mineral oil and water, and then compare their miscibility (how well they mix) in each.

In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.

This activity (on pages 10-12 of the PDF) encourages learners to consider what makes living things different from non-living things.

What's a more compelling problem to solve than being stranded on a deserted island?

In this chemistry activity, learners witness an exothermic reaction, while making their very own, completely usable sidewalk chalk. This is also an excellent activity for exploring color mixing.
