In this activity, learners examine baking powder, a combination of three powders: baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch.

In this chemistry activity, learners are asked to form a hypothesis about the behavior of milk as household detergents act upon it.

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.

Using indirect methods, learners determine the shape and size of a piece of carpet hidden under a piece of plywood.

In this activity about water's cohesive and adhesive properties and why water molecules are attracted to each other, learners test if objects repel or absorb water.

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 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.

Learners initially test to see how many drops of liquid (water, rubbing alcohol, and vegetable oil) can fit on a penny.

In this activity (page 26 of the PDF), learners make observations, formulate hypotheses and design a controlled experiment, based on the reaction of carbon dioxide with calcium hydroxide.

In this multi-station lab, learners conduct a series of experiments to explore the processes and effects of weathering and erosion.
