In this activity, learners investigate the movement of water into and out of a polymer. Learners test the diffusion of water through gummy bears, which are made of sugar and gelatin (a polymer).

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.

In this activity, learners design a bungee jump for an egg using nylon stockings.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of structural engineering and how to measure the critical load, or the maximum weight a structure can bear.

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 will observe a deceptively simple process: a burning candle.

In this 7-10 day investigation, learners develop an understanding of waves and tides and their motion through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on activities.

In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.

In this activity (1st activity on the page), learners explore their sense of taste and the structure of the tongue by taste-testing various foods.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 5 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to compare how much energy is released as heat from two different foods.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.

In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

In this hands-on activity, learners will become familiar with the special adaptations of rainforest plants and discover the conditions needed for tropical trees to survive along with what can impinge

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

In this math lesson, learners explore probability.

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