Learners use red cabbage juice and pH indicator paper to test the acidity and basicity of household materials. The activity links this concept of acids and bases to acid rain and other pollutants.

In this activity, learners examine how brine shrimp populations can survive in some of the harshest environments.

In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF), learners make a "mini-globe" to investigate the causes of day and night on our planet.

In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will determine whether they are "tasters" or "non-tasters", test selected individuals from their families and peer group for the trait, and chart

In this activity, learners recrystallize substances from solutions and make observations about the resulting crystals. This test can help further identify the unknown.

In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

In this activity, learners examine baking powder, a combination of three powders: baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch.

The purpose of this lab activity is to demonstrate (through simulation) how DNA fingerprinting (or DNA profiling) might be used to solve a crime.

In this activity, learners create a "Jam Jar Jet" based on Francois Reynst's discovery of a pulsejet engine, which uses one opening for both air intake and exhaust.

In this activity (on pages 18-29) learners explore the impact of the March 24, 1989 oil spill in Alaska caused by the Exxon Valdez tanker.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

The major goal of this math lesson is to have learners collect data from a variety of experiments, determine what models best fits their data, and explain why their models are best.

In this chemistry challenge, learners identify an unknown white powder by comparing it with common household powders.

As a model of acid rain, learners water plants with three different solutions: water only, vinegar only, vinegar-water mixture.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

Learners use several types of insect sampling and collection equipment to make an insect collection. Learners can collect insects from their schoolyard or yard at home.

In this fun, hands-on autumn activity, learners experiment to discover whether the colored substances in leaves can be separated from the leaves.

In this chemistry activity, learners explore the amount of copper in a new penny. Learners use toilet bowl cleaner to hollow out the interior of a penny with zinc inside.

Many of the genetic sequences found in the fruit fly genome are similar to those found in humans.

In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.
