In this board game, learners explore the origins of meteors, meteoroids, and meteorites as well as the their characteristics and importance. They also discover some misconceptions about meteors.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

In this activity, learners build and test a compass. Learners work in pairs and pretend they are stuck in the wilderness at night.

In an investigation called "Shape It!" learners craft tiny boats out of clay, set them afloat on water and then add weight loads to them, in order to explore: how objects stay afloat in water; what th

Directed by instructional cards, learners kinesthetically model cell communication by acting as components in a cell signaling pathway.

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

In this investigation, learners explore the force known as buoyancy by placing various objects into water and observing how they behave (for example, which sink more quickly, which float, how much wat

In this activity about electricity, learners identify parallel and series circuits. First, learners examine and label diagrams of complete circuits.

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

Learners explore the Bernoulli effect by building an airfoil (airplane wing) and making it fly.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.

In this hands-on activity, learners will become familiar with the special adaptations of rainforest plants and discover the conditions needed for tropical trees to survive along with what can impinge

In this activity, learners listen to songs and decode hidden messages based on the same principle as a modem. As a final challenge, learners decode the binary messages in a music video.

Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing an instrument using some metal pipes, rubber bands, and a baseboard.
