In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

In this activity, learners explore how watermills have helped harness energy from water through the ages.

In this three-part activity, learners explore how waves are formed and why some waves are bigger than others. First, learners observe waves of water in a pan generated by an electric fan.

In this math lesson, learners identify and compare unit costs of given items. Learners use computation skills, problem solving and number sense to find the cost of an ounce of cereal.

In this math lesson, learners explore tessellations through literature, music, writing, and art activities.

Learners design their own experiment to determine conditions that either help or hinder the decomposition of carrots by soil microbes.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

An estuary is a body of water that is created when freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the saltwater of an ocean.

In this activity, learners compare the ways of life of Plains Native Americans who hunted and moved frequently to follow the buffalo herds, and Native Americans who farmed and lived in more permanent

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design tire treads to increase safety and reliability.

In this archaeology activity, learners make observations and conduct an experiment to demonstrate the effect saltwater has on artifacts.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity, leaners will observe the process of natural selection on a population of birds called 'Springbeaks' over four seasons of breeding on an isolated environment called 'Clippy Island.' L

In this outdoor activity, learners find out the color of food that jays prefer and then try to change the birds' preference by altering the taste of the food with salt.

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.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a mapping technique to become oriented to the major features of an outdoor site.

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

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

In this math lesson, learners explore and investigate measurement using standard and non-standard units.

In this activity (page 37 of the PDF), learners observe, on a prepared slide, muscle and spinal cord cells from a rat.
