In this chemistry activity, learners observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur.

In this activity, learners make flipbooks of drawings showing the progression of a Total Solar Eclipse.

In this math lesson, learners play a game to identify the properties of prime, composite, abundant, deficient and perfect numbers.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

Learners model the processes that formed some of Earth's largest mountain ranges: the Himalayas, the Andes, and the Alps.

This is a demonstration you can use to show learners how valves and pumps work in concert to move blood through the circulatory system.

Learners listen to and try to decipher a radio message that was sent from Earth to possible intelligent civilizations.

In this activity (page 2 of pdf), learners craft a model of a skate egg case and come to understand that cartilaginous fish such as sharks and shakes employ reproductive strategies that differ from th

This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

Directed by instructional cards, learners kinesthetically model cell communication by acting as components in a cell signaling pathway.

In this art-related activity, learners make a coin rubbing—a process similar to what archeologists may do with ancient artifacts. This activity can be used in connection with a history or art lesson.

In this activity, learners construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.

In this hands-on activity, learners use heat to shrink samples of polystyrene plastic (#6 recycle code). Learners compare the size and shape of the plastic pieces before and after shrinking.

Using paper, paper clips, an index card, and tape, teams of learners design flying devices to (1) stay in the air as long as possible and (2) land as close as possible to a given target.

This activity demonstrates liquefaction, the process by which some soils lose their solidity during an earthquake.

In this graphing exercise (page 2 of the pdf), learners compare their own height to the length of various sharks.
