Learners observe projectile motion by launching wooden balls off of a table top. They set up a rubber-band launcher so that each ball experiences a consistent amount of force.

In this activity, learners listen to a story and tell a story of their own as they learn about the importance of elders in Native American cultures.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover the wonders of the habitat surrounding them.

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

In this activity about problem-solving, learners build a house for the Three Little Pigs using twenty straws and two index cards.

In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.

This activity is on page 8 of the pdf, part of the Sea Life Discovery Box. This is an activity exploring the characteristics of fish.

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

Learners build a pendulum from a yo-yo, and then design their own experiment to determine what affects the pendulum's period of swing.

This activity attempts to clear up the common misconception that deserts are always hot, totally dry, and uninhabitable.

In this math lesson, learners explore probability.

Learners use compasses to detect the magnetic field created by current moving through a wire. This is one of four activities learners can complete related to PhysicsQuest 2008.

Learners work in pairs to design, construct, and test a device that exhibits positive, neutral, and negative buoyancy. They test a number of different objects in water to see if they sink or float.

In this engineering design activity, learners will design, test, and build a “haunting machine” to solve a Sherlockian mystery.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length.
