In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

In this activity, learners explore the flexibility of polymer chains by pushing sharpened pencils through a Ziploc bag.

In this math lesson, learners explore probability.

In this activity, learners develop spatial reasoning skills as they blow bubbles and observe what happens when the bubbles connect.

In this activity, learners will explore density and it's relationship with mass.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

In this hands-on activity, learners investigate the functional design of leaves on a tree.

In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.

This activity is on page 8 of the pdf, part of the Sea Life Discovery Box. This is an activity exploring the characteristics of fish.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

In this activity, learners construct an indoors obstacle course and discover how using an eye patch can help them complete the course in the dark.

In this activity, learners will learn about a person they admire (famous, family or otherwise) or even themselves and create a life-sized silhouette.

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

In this activity, learners create a mixture of water, alcohol and permanent marker ink, and then add salt to form a colored alcohol layer on top of a colorless water layer.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Farm Animals Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into raising livestock.

This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

In this activity, young learners use their sense of touch rather than sight to identify a mystery object in a bag. Learners take turns acting as "peekers" and "sensers" throughout the game.
