In this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

In this activity, learners test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.

In this activity, learners build a tool called an inclinometer that can find the height of any distant object, from a tree to the North Star.

In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

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

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 8 of PDF), learners estimate average daily baseline energy (Calorie) needs and energy needs for different levels of activity.

In this activity, learners will experiment with textures, shapes, and materials and create their own unique masterpieces.

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

In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, size, and bounce height.

In this activity, learners will learn about a person they admire (famous, family or otherwise) or even themselves and create a life-sized silhouette.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

In this activity, learners explore fractions as they help gators share pies.

In this activity, learners will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.

In this activity, learners follow clues to find five puzzle pieces, then assemble them. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

In this activity, learners will learn how to knit using only their hands. Learners will explore patterns and fabrication as well as develop fine motor skills and patience through this activity.

In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

In this nutrition activity (page 26 of PDF), learners consider the nutritional needs of people with specific dietary requirements, such as athletes, persons with diabetes and vegetarians, and create a
