In this activity, learners will use their five senses to explore a nature-based area around them.

In this activity about sleep rhythms (on page 21 of the PDF), learners will collect data about their own sleep cycles and use a fraction wheel to examine their data.

Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.

Learners cover a bottle with a balloon. When they immerse the bottle in warm water, the balloon inflates. When they immerse the bottle in a bowl of ice, the balloon deflates.

This game teaches ratio and proportion by having learners make "salads" that combine three types of beans in different combinations.

In this math activity, learners will create a scale diagram of their backyard or other outdoor area on graph paper.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about how the arrangement of carbon atoms determines carbon's different properties.

In this activity, learners gain a better understanding of how household/school waste breaks down in a landfill. Learners collect trash and then create miniature landfills in 2-liter bottles.

In this activity, learners turn an ordinary metal coat-hanger into a (very quiet) musical instrument.

In this quick SciGirls activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design), learners will be introduced to the concept of thermal conductivity.

In this hands-on and feet-on excursion, learners take a science walk to visualize the planet's immense size and numerous structures, without the usual scale and ratio dimensions found in most textbook

This activity puts a mathematical twist on the familiar “guessing jar.” No guesses allowed, estimates only.

Do you have a hard time matching paint swatches with your furniture? When you consider human perception, color is context dependent.

In this technology activity, learners explore digital imaging and pixels. Learners "transmit" an image to a partner by creating an image on grid paper.
