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

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners investigate vitamin C. Learners conduct a chemistry experiment to determine if Tang drink mix or orange juice contains more vitamin C.

In this matchmaking activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Animal Scent Activity), learners will each have a scented cotton ball taped to their shoulder. The scent (e.g.

By building a model of a lung and diaphragm, learners discover the function of various parts of the body's respiratory system.

In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to the capture-recapture statistical procedure.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.

In this lab, learners experience how dolphins and other echolocating animals use their senses to locate and identify objects without using their sense of sight.

When it rains, water can collect on top of and seep into the ground. Water can also run downhill, carrying soil and pollution with it.

Learners explore soybeans, soak them in water to remove their coat, and then split them open to look inside. They also make a musical shaker out of paper cups, a cardboard tube, and soybeans.

In this outdoor, sensory activity, learners role play as animals trying to identify their "family's" scent and locate their "territory." Learners mark their territories and sniff out other territories
