In this activity, learners build a game that tests their steadiness. Learners construct the game board by setting up an electrical circuit and a wand.

This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

In this activity about the brain and sleep (on page 138 of the PDF), learners measure their resting breathing rates. Learners will discover that breathing frequencies vary amongst individuals.

In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this activity, learners working in pairs saturate a cotton ball using water drops from an eyedropper to demonstrate the high water capacity of clouds.

In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

This great "re-use it" activity will demonstrate how to transform a greeting card into a box. Once constructed, the box can have many uses like holding special notes or keepsakes.

In this activity, learners examine body parts (including skin, scales, and skulls) from fish, mammals and reptiles. Questions are provided to help encourage learner investigations.

In this activity, learners discover why some nanoscale science and technology is done in the controlled environment of a clean room, what clean rooms are like, and how scientists help keep the clean r

In this activity, learners participate in a scavenger hunt, searching for and recognizing minerals and products that contain minerals.

In this activity, learners discover that the way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners use number sense and mental math strategies to estimate the price of a sign.

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.
