In this biology activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners use yarn and sticky labels to build a model of a DNA strand. They discover that DNA is very long, very skinny, and packs well into cells.

In this physics activity, learners will explore the concept of buoyancy, especially as it relates to density.

In this health activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will discover why covering their mouth and nose while sneezing is so important.

This is an activity about rockets. Learners will explore how rockets leave Earth's orbit and what it takes to make a launch successful.

In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will make their very own working compass.

In this geology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners simulate an earthquake with little more than an elastic band and drinking straws.

In this health activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners examine ingredient labels of packaged food products to find out what sugar ingredients they contain.

In this physics activity (page 12 of the PDF), learners explore potential and kinetic energy by rolling different sized marbles down an inclined plane.

In this yummy activity about soil (page 9 of PDF), learners will create layers of soil using food. They will learn about the composition and role of each layer.

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

In this botany activity, learners will create an experiment about seed germination. This activity gives students an opportunity to explore how seeds germinate and react to surrounding conditions.

In this physics activity, learners experiment with soap bubbles to see what variables affect their size. They explore how soap film and bubbles always seek the smallest surface area possible.

In this physics related activity which requires adult supervision, learners make their own powerful water rocket and, with it, explore Newton's Third Law of Motion.

In this physics activity, learners will build their own parachutes out of tissue paper. They will explore the effects of weight, height, and design on the parachutes' speed and stability.

In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.

This is an activity about the behavior of light. Using simple, everyday objects, learners will discover that light moves in straight lines until acted upon by another object.

In this environmental science activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners use vinegar and chalk to observe the effect of acid rain on various building materials and plant life.

In this geology activity, learners use a microscope to discover and identify the components of sand.

In this activity about magnetism (page 4 of the PDF), learners will experiment with magnets and different objects to find out that not all metals are attracted to magnets.

In this activity about magnetism (page seven of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets to better understand how magnetic fields work.
