Copy Cats
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners use what they know about shapes to copy a friend's hidden picture. Learners create a design out of pattern blocks and then hide their picture behind a screen.
Measuring Blood Pressure in Space
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 105 of the PDF), learners measure heart rate and blood pressure and learn how to obtain consistent measurements during repeated tests.
Squeeze Me!
Source Institutions

Magic Turtle Squares
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners create a magic turtle where all the rows, columns and diagonals add up to fifteen.
Equal Sharing Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are introduced to division and fractions as they share snacks with a group of friends.
Movin' and Groovin'

In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.
Flip
Source Institutions
In this amazingly simple physics activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore how exerting a force on an object can give it kinetic energy and momentum.
Lub Dub: Make a Heart Valve
Source Institutions
Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.
Weather Stations: Winds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a toaster to generate wind and compare the appliance's heat source to Jupiter's own hot interior. Learners discover that convection drives wind on Jupiter and on Earth.
Coffee to Carbon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners place cards featuring biological structures in order by their relative size from largest to smallest.
Bridge Building
Source Institutions
This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about how the arrangement of carbon atoms determines carbon's different properties.
Squeeze the Stream
Source Institutions
In this activity related to flight, learners build a tiny stream channel to investigate how fluids (air and water) change speed as they flow between and around objects.
Four of the States of Matter
