Learners conduct an experiment to determine the rate at which two materials, sand and water, heat up and cool down.

In this lab activity, learners act as fellow scientists and colleagues of Isaac Newton. He has asked them to independently test his ideas on the nature of motion, in particular his 2nd Law.

Learners turn over a random selection of cards from a larger set. From the words revealed, they try to determine the sentence represented on the larger set of cards.

In this activity about magnetism (page 15 of the PDF), learners will explore how opposite and similar magnetic poles affect a swinging (pendulum) magnet.

Learners observe the outside and inside of raw chicken eggs, record descriptions, and hypothesize what will happen when a facilitator drops an egg on the floor.

Learners design their own experiment to determine which M&M color dissolves the fastest in water.

In this activity about water solubility and density, learners use critical thinking skills to determine why water can dissolve some things and not others.

A group of learners has an envelope containing a series of bank checks. A few checks are removed at a time, and the team attempts to construct a plausible scenario which involves those checks.

Learners explore the physical properties of a variety of balls and how they bounce.

In this activity, learners design a device to solve a problem: how to get a ball out of a drain pipe.

Learners imagine they are paleontologists in Florida, where they find (remove from envelope) paper "fossils" of some unknown creature, only a few at a time.
