In this activity, learners explore phosphorescence and how certain materials can absorb and store energy from a light source.

In this activity, learners will design a protective package for an egg that will allow the egg to withstand a fall without cracking.

In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

In this math lesson, learners explore polynomial and rational function patterns.

In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

In this math lesson, learners identify, describe, and construct the five regular polyhedra.

Learners recreate the classic egg-drop experiment with an analogy to the Mars rover landing. The concept of terminal velocity will be introduced, and learners perform several velocity calculations.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.

Make a kite out of a garbage bag, shower curtain, painting tarp--anything light, thin, flexible and plastic!

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

In this math puzzle game, learners work together to use algebraic reasoning and fun clues for solving word puzzles.

In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

Learners build a solar oven from a cardboard pizza box, aluminum foil and plastic. Learners can use their oven to cook S'mores or other food in the sun.

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

This lesson (on pages 46-55 of PDF) features two strategy board games -- one from Ghana and one from China. The first game, Achi, is a cross between checkers and tic-tac-toe.

This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different
