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 explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this environmental education demonstration (page 6 of the PDF), learners will see a tangible representation of the scarcity of soil resources on earth.

This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners add objects and substances to carbonated water to discover that added objects increase the rate at which dissolved gas comes out of solution.

In this math lesson, learners explore the relationship between the thickness of a spaghetti bridge, the length of the bridge, and the amount of weight that can be supported by the bridge.

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

In this activity, learners follow simple historical maritime recipes to cook up hardtack and swanky, and then compare the foods they eat to what was served on ships in the past.

In this nutrition activity (page 16 of PDF), learners document their individual eating habits and learn whether their eating patterns meet their needs.

In this activity, learners investigate the history and development of agricultural biotechnology.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 8 of PDF), learners estimate average daily baseline energy (Calorie) needs and energy needs for different levels of activity.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.
