In this math lesson, learners count and compare amounts of money less than or equal to one dollar.

In this activity, learners discover how geologists use stratigraphy, the study of layered rock, to understand the sequence of geological events.

Learners explore water's property of cohesion through two investigations.

This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

In this activity related to indoor air pollution, learners build take-home dust catchers with wax paper and petroleum jelly.

Learners observe a model of a cell and its chromosomal DNA made from a plastic egg and dental floss. Use this model to illustrate how much DNA is held in one cell.

Learners display their findings after a study of surface area and volume. They build a mobile to show a commercially available box and a constructed cubical box of the same volume.

In this math lesson, learners use hinged mirrors to discover that regular polygons are composed of triangles tessellating around a center point.

In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

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.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how "bounciness" relates to the distance a ball will fly when hit off a batting tee.

In this activity, learners will simulate the interactions between a predator population of gray wolves and a prey population of deer in a forest.

In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

Learners use shop tools and various materials to construct a magnetic spinner and a compass.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

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

In this collection of demonstrations, learners explore Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this activity, learners collect, analyze, and interpret information about objects in order to classify them into a cladogram. Use this activity to talk about how scientists classify things.

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) is a cloning method that involves transferring a nucleus from a somatic cell of the individual to be cloned to an enucleated egg.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for lichen, a combination of a fungus and an alga living together. Lichen grow where most other plants cannot, on rocks, the trunks of trees, logs and sand.
