In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.

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 is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) about how visible light is affected by tiny nanoscale structures, producing iridescence on butterfly wings, soap bubbl

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

In this activity, learners help create and then navigate an outdoor course of the traditional "planets" (including dwarf planet Pluto), which are represented by small common objects.

In this activity (page 23 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to determine how the size and mass of a projectile affects the area and the volume of an impact crater.

In this lab, learners experience how dolphins and other echolocating animals use their senses to locate and identify objects without using their sense of sight.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

In this activity, learners construct a projector out of cardboard to view their favorite images (such as storybook illustrations) on the wall.

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this outdoor activity, learners saw sections from fallen trees, then count tree rings and look closely at patterns of tree growth.

In this activity, learners construct a device that projects images onto a surface, so they can trace landscapes and other sights.

In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.

In this indepth hands-on activity, learners build a structure that allows them to observe the growth of roots and the correlation between root growth and stem extension.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

In this experiment, learners discover how an airfoil creates lift. Learners use simple materials to build an airfoil and test it at different angles to investigate Bernoulli's principle.

In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.

In this four-day activity, learners grow bacteria and/or fungi from a variety of locations and compare the results.

In this environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.
