This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will measure the rate at which water streams out of a leaky cup.

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

In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.

Learners build simple catapults and use them to launch cotton balls.

Learners investigate weight by building a spring scale. They observe and record how it responds to objects with different masses.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

In this activity, learners calculate the number of milliliters of water a nearby tree transpires per day.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how passive solar design increases energy efficiency.

In this math lesson, learners explore the real world meaning of slope. Learners conduct a balloon experiment in which they measure the circumference and flight time of deflating balloons.

In this health and fitness activity, learners focus on the importance of daily physical activity, specifically walking.
