In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this electrochemistry activity, learners will explore two examples of electroplating.

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

In this activity, learners investigate Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM) and then work in teams using a pencil to explore and identify the shape of objects they cannot see, just as SPMs do at the nano

In this activity (on page 134 of the PDF), learners explore reaction time.

In this activity, learners build a recording timer made from simple materials (e.g., small dc motor, sharpie pen, craft sticks, adding machine paper tape, etc.).

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this activity (posted on March 27, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a mini zoetrope, a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this activity, learners observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this physics activity, learners build a toy with a figure that spins around like a gymnast on the high bar.

In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted the design and engineering of many everyday items from paint to fabrics.

In this activity, learners participate in a simulated dig to discover fossilized dinosaur bones. Learners take notes, make a map and propose theories about dinosaurs.

In this activity, learners explore how genetic switches function and the role of genetic switches in the process of evolution.

In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.
