In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

In this activity, learners explore how to protect their skin while applying pesticides to plants.

In this activity, learners develop an understanding of cylinders and volume as they compare two sizes of popcorn buckets.

In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this activity, learners working in pairs saturate a cotton ball using water drops from an eyedropper to demonstrate the high water capacity of clouds.

In this activity, learners participate in a scavenger hunt, searching for and recognizing minerals and products that contain minerals.

In this activity, learners use number sense and mental math strategies to estimate the price of a sign.

In this activity, learners will estimate the sizes of balls to learn how to estimate the size of hail. Learners will compare their estimates to the estimates of their peers and the real measurements.

In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

In this activity, learners discover how the extent of various wind speeds changes in each of the four quadrants around a hurricane.

In this math game, learners try to earn the most points by winning stacks of four dice. Learners practice number recognition and addition skills.

This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

In this activity related to nanotechnology, learners observe some of the effects that result from creating a thin layer of material several nanometers thick.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

In this sorting activity, learners play a game in which they try to identify the largest number of differences between two objects.

In this activity, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.
