This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

The purpose of this lab activity is to demonstrate (through simulation) how DNA fingerprinting (or DNA profiling) might be used to solve a crime.

Through a series of simple body movements, learners gain insight into the relationship between time and astronomical motions of Earth (rotation about its axis, and orbit around the Sun), and also abou

In this series of activities (page 5), students are introduced to the design process.

In this activity, learners make their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this activity, learners investigate the olfactory system by conducting several experiments.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

This activity uses LEGO® bricks to represent atoms bonding into molecules and crystals. The lesson plan is for a 2.5 hour workshop (or four 45-minute classes).

In order to examine the random nature of mutations and natural selection, learners "breed" clutches of Egyptian Origami Birds (Avis papyrus) using random number generators (dice and coins) to mutate s

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this activity (page 7 of pdf), learners research tide pool ecosystems, and then create brochures that "advertise" these environments.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 108: My Ice Pops, learners observe reversible change while thinking about ways to make ice melt.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

In this activity, learners make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about nanotechnology making its way into everyday products, such as sunscreen, and how effective these invisible particl

In this health, cooking, and math activity, learners explore nutrition and examine nutrition labels.

In this technology activity, learners build simple circuits, design soft circuits using conductive thread, and then sew switch-activated circuits.
