Learners design and create musical instruments from common objects; their challenge is to create an instrument that can make three different tones.

Breathing Yeasties
Source Institutions
Does yeast breathe? Find out by watching how plastic bags filled with yeast, warm water and different amounts of sugar change over time.

Moving On Up: Capillary Action II
Source Institutions
Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.

Seed Adaptations
Source Institutions
By participating in a seed scavenger hunt, learners examine many adaptations of seeds, including how many seeds a plant makes, how those seeds travel to new locations, and what protects them from pred

Benham’s Disk

Probability: Rock Around The Clock
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners apply the Monte Carlo method of simulation to determine a reasonable estimate.

Challenge: Microgravity
Source Institutions
In this activity about the circulatory system and space travel (on page 38 of the PDF), learners use water balloons to simulate the effects of gravity and microgravity on fluid distribution in the bod

Below the Surface: Surface Tension II
Source Institutions
In this activity learners explore surface tension. Why are certain objects able to float on the surface of water and how do detergents break the surface tension of water?

Build a Band
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a four-stringed instrument that can play a tune.

Let's Look at Water & the Scientific Method
Source Institutions
This activity has learners observe water and compare it to other liquids.

The Power of Togetherness
Source Institutions
In this activity about human anatomy (page 16 of PDF), learners construct a model arm and discover how muscles and bones work together to achieve efficient movement.

Woodpecker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.
