In this playful, goopy activity, learners mix two liquids to create a solid (that sometimes acts like a liquid ), using basic household materials such as borax and glue.

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.

During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.

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

An outdoor scavenger hunt helps learners consider the theme of "What Is Life?" Learners explore what living organisms are, including how organisms meet basic needs of food, shelter and water to surviv

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

In this activity (on pages 34-39), learners make a fairly detailed model of DNA using licorice and gumdrops.

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

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

In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

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 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

In this investigation learners explore the differences between, and interdependence of, living and nonliving elements in a water ecosystem.

In this activity, learners construct an indoors obstacle course and discover how using an eye patch can help them complete the course in the dark.

This lesson familiarizes learners with the term "tropical belt." First, learners locate the equator, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn on a map and trace these lines with a crayon.

In this activity, learners explore the "nuts and bolts" of gene chips.

Have you noticed the plastic rings that are used to hold six-packs of soda? Those rings are great for carrying cans, but they're real trouble when they become trash that animals can get tangled in.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.
