In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color and temperature -- basic concepts of matter and energy.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.

In this activity, learners explore patterns and sequences as they observe fictional plant growth.

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their height in pennies.

In this activity (Lesson 1), learners work in groups to create tide simulations.

In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

In this activity, learners make a black box device that serves as an excellent analogy to Rutherford's famous experiment in which he deduced the existence of the atomic nucleus.

In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs), learners will model how paleontologists estimate the age of fossil discoveries by extracting “fossil” playing cards from newspa

In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this quick activity about predicting (located on page 2 of the PDF under Where's Nano?

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 activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

In this two-part activity about luminescence, learners explore the chemistry that happens inside glow sticks and other light producing reactions.

In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.

In this activity, learners participate in fun movement activities while playing on a giant game board. Use this activity to get learners involved in physical activity.
