This activity shows you how to make a mold terrarium using a jar and leftover food.

In this activity, learners add objects and substances to carbonated water to discover that added objects increase the rate at which dissolved gas comes out of solution.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

In this health activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore a unique connection betweeen the bones of the body.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, learners investigate the importance of washing their hands.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners conduct some quick and easy tests to determine the differences between water and other liquids that look very similar to water.

Using two baby food jars, food coloring, and an index card, you'll 'marry' the jars to see how hot water and cold water mix.

In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.

Learners blow into balloons and collect their breath--carbon dioxide gas (CO2). They then blow the CO2 from the balloon into a solution of acid-base indicator.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

Learners build a model of a pollution control device--a cyclone. A cyclone works by whirling the polluted air in a circle and accumulating particles on the edges of the container.

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

In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, discover how materials and physical forces behave differently at the nanoscale.

In this chemistry activity, learners perform three chemical reactions in a sealed zip-top bag. Learners will record their observations and classify the changes as chemical or physical.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.

In this chemistry activity, learners use yeast and hydrogen peroxide to generate a gas (oxygen) and test some of its properties.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.
