In this activity, learners explore what is and is not active play and how it contributes to a healthy body and mind. Making active play a routine part of every day is a key concept of the experience.

In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

Learners will do an experiment to determine which type of paper is strongest while focusing on variables and collecting data.

This activity has learners observe water and compare it to other liquids.

In this activity about human anatomy (page 16 of PDF), learners construct a model arm and discover how muscles and bones work together to achieve efficient movement.

In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

In this outdoor activity, learners release a portion of a lawn from human control—no mowing, no watering, no weeding, no pest control—and then investigate the changes that result over several weeks.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners will discover that phenolphthalein is an acid/base indicator. One learner will read a poem about four witches making a potion.

In this activity (on pages 9-14), learners dissect a real flower -- the kind of work botanists do.

This activity is designed to introduce learners to genes, genotypes and simple inheritance patterns.

This is an activity in which learners explore the effects of gravity, motion and momentum while creating art.

Learners investigate how the temperature of water affects its density.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has developed various means to remove impurities from water.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Sailboat Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making an edible treat. First, learners read "Dinosaur Bones" by Aliki to examine how fossils are formed.

In this activity, learners design a device to solve a problem: how to get a ball out of a drain pipe.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most to learn about the different sizes of dinosaurs.

In this hands-on science experiment, students combine their understanding of the different states of matter and the characteristics of various chemical reactions.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, explore the unique molecular structure and conductive nature of graphene. Learners construct a circuit with a battery and LED bulb.
