Learners design their own experiment to investigate whether the temperature of the surrounding water affects the rate at which the colored coating dissolves from an M&M.

Learners will compare the growth rate and appearance of crystals forming on small rocks to those growing on miscellaneous objects. Learners will also investigate how temperature (warm vs.

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

This three-part activity consists of an activity that groups of learners develop themselves, a given procedure, and an optional demonstration.

This activity allows learners to explore the scientific method in an open-ended fashion, using the 4-P Approach to Science Inquiry developed by the University of Wisconsin, Beloit.

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.

Learners place an M&M candy in water and observe what happens. The sugar-and-color coating dissolves and spreads out in a circular pattern around the M&M.

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

During this activity, learners will make different versions of "ooze" using varied proportions of detergent and glue.

In this activity, learners explore the process of condensation.
