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 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 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.

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

In this activity, learners create a mind and math puzzle that requires a three-dimensional solution.

Groups of learners are provided with a generic car base and an egg. Their mission: design a device/enclosure to protect the egg on or in the car as it rolls down a ramp with increasing slopes.

In this activity, learners create a traditional Mexican noisemaker (a matraca) using cardboard, craft sticks, and a wooden dowel.
