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 waves. Using marbles, paper clips and rubber bands, learners explore how waves behave.

In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.

In this activity about magnetism (page 17 of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets, exploring the concept of diamagnetic materials by seeing how a grape reacts to a magnetic field.

In this activity about friction and gravity (page seven of the pdf), learners use toy racing cars to explore how the two forces affect the motion of objects.

In this fun chemistry activity (page 3 of the pdf), learners use cabbage juice to determine the pH of several substances.

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

In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.

In this chemistry experiment, learners get to make a very bizarre substance using corn starch and water. Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Or is it a different kind of substance entirely?

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.

In this chemistry activity, learners explore chemical reactions and their effects, including the kind of reaction in the human body that makes people burp!

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 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.

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