This is a hands-on activity about the physics of tennis. Learners will discover that physics plays a big part in tennis, no matter what their skill level might be.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Self-Assembly Activity) about self-assembly, the ability of molecules to assemble themselves according to certain rules.

Learners experiment to see which colors of light will cause a phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) material to glow.

In this activity, learners use transparent tape and polarizing material to create and project beautifully colored patterns reminiscent of abstract or geometric stained glass windows--no glass required

In this health activity (on page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about the body‘s defenses against invasion from tiny particles.

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

Learners examine the properties of light by experimenting with an LED-flashlight and polarizing filters. When two polarizers are used, they block all light when they are placed at right angles.

In this activity, learners use various dress-up or costume pieces to play a game of change.

Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.

In this activity, learners use aluminum trays and wooden blocks to form stream tables to investigate river formations in two different landscape scenarios.

In this archaeology meets art activity, learners make a mosaic and consider the ways in which art communicates.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with a bucket, stretchy fabric, marbles, and weights to discover some basics about gravity.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how some desert birds keep their cool.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners experiment with the interesting designs that can be made by painting on plaster.

In this activity, learners explore the magnetic field of a bar magnet as an introduction to understanding Earth's magnetic field. First, learners explore and play with magnets and compasses.

In this activity, learners play an active version of freeze tag based on predator/prey relationships.

In this activity, learners make plaster casts of an animal track to learn more about animals and animal behavior.

In this math lesson, learners apply mathematical modeling to solve a real-world storage problem, in which a manufacturing company is given two options for storing oil barrels.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners investigate carbon sequestration by creating a carbonated beverage out of apple juice and dry ice.
