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

The major goal of this math lesson is to have learners collect data from a variety of experiments, determine what models best fits their data, and explain why their models are best.

Learners demonstrate how water can distort, refract and magnify light.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

In this activity, learners explore how pens have been engineered and re-engineered over time. Learners work as a team to develop a working pen out of everyday items.

In this activity (pages 17-31), learners are introduced to techniques that are used to determine the structures of solid materials.

In this oceanography and data collection activity, learners cast real time sea state conditions using buoys from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center.

Learners make their own paper using old newspaper. Learners can make their paper colorful by adding construction paper.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bubble maze that allows bubbles to move through a series of “on” and “off” switches.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

In this activity, learners explore watercraft engineering and sailing.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an air-powered spinning machine.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.

In this activity, learners use ABS pipe and an air leaf blower to make a strong shooting machine.

In this experiment using sprigs of Elodea, learners will observe a natural process that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from Earth's atmosphere.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, size, and bounce height.
