In this ocean engineering activity, learners explore buoyancy and water displacement. Then, learners design models of deep sea divers that are neutrally buoyant.

Learners use a variety of beans to represent a variety of species, and scatter these beans over a large piece of paper representing the environment.

In this activity, learners experiment and collect data during a simulation of the fluid shifts experienced by astronauts' bodies in microgravity.

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.

This is a culminating activity which allows learners to summarize what they know about Woodlands Native Americans by creating illustrations and map symbols for a large outline map (see related Activit

Data in computers is stored and transmitted as a series of zeros and ones. Learners explore how to represent numbers using just these two symbols, through a binary system of cards.

In this activity, learners add food coloring to hot and cold water to see whether heating or cooling affects the speed of water molecules.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

Computers are often used to put lists into some sort of order—for example, names into alphabetical order, appointments or e-mail by date, or items in numerical order.

In this activity, learners collect worms and then observe how they move.

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.

In this activity, learners build an old-fashioned paddle boat out of simple materials.

In this math lesson, learners extend their understanding of basic probability concepts as they learn to name all of the possible outcomes of an event as well as ways to express the likelihood of such

In this activity (page 59 of the PDF), learners spin and observe false eyelashes in jars of water (prepared at least 1 day ahead of time) to investigate the effects of different types of motion on the
