Avalanche
Source Institutions
In this geology activity, learners create a model using a mixture of salt and sand inside a CD case. When the case is tilted or inverted, the mixture dramatically sorts into a layered pattern.

Living Bones, Strong Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh

Building with Wonderful Junk
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.
Build A Hydrometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

Boats Afloat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover what buoyancy is and determine the characteristics that make an object buoyant. Learners design, build, test, and evaluate boats made from a variety of materials.
