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

In this multi-part activity learners examine non-point water pollution.

In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.

This simple, yet surprising physics demonstration challenges preconceptions about forces, and demonstrates the strength of atmospheric pressure.

In this design challenge, learners will practice empathy and design thinking skills by creating a play space that is fun, both for themselves and other kids.

In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

Did you know that you would be a different age if you lived on Mars? It's true!

In this design challenge, learners will practice empathy and design thinking skills by creating an invention of the future.

In this activity (on page 2), pairs of learners create an imaginary crime scene. One person leaves the room while the other person moves a few things around.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a handkerchief holds water in an upside-down glass.

Use this activity (10th on the page) to help learners explore memory and how sometimes your brain makes up its own memories. Learners will read and try to remember the words in list #1.

This is an activity where learners will compare the different metamorphosis stages of amphibians.

In this activity on page 1 of the PDF, learners compare the relative sizes of biological objects (like DNA and bacteria) that can't be seen by the naked eye.

In this activity, learners will investigate the part of soil. Explore how clay, silt, and sand make up the dirt in your background. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

In this activity (3rd on the page), learners investigate circadian rhythms by examining how well people do with estimating time.

In this online activity, learners will brush up on their multiplication, division, and factoring skills with this exciting game.

In this activity, learners will be able to measure themselves in nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, a unit of measurement used in nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners will explore the ways natural materials can produce sounds. Appropriate for any age, learners can make individual music or create a symphony with others.

This is an online game that explores speed, range and momentum. Learners will pick the winners in a 16-team tournament in 3 events: Tug-o-war, sprint, and marathon.

This online interactive has three activities in the NanoLab (press the upper right button): Build, Zoom, and Transform.
