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

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

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

In this activity, learners observe and describe the physical and behavioral characteristics of insects, including crickets.

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

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing their very own instruments using PVC pipes, soda bottles, and a straw.

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 activity, learners work in teams to construct and test fly drinking straw rockets. Learners explore how changing the rockets' fins affect flight distance.

Build your own version of a favorite carnival game, in which a marble races down a maze consisting of rows of nails.

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.

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

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

In this math activity (Page 17 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "baseball" and analyze the results of the game.

Learners use their opponent's clues and a compass rose to find the hidden treasure on a map. Learners use problem solving and coordinate grid skills as they hunt for treasure.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Farm Animals Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into raising livestock.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners get their hands dirty by playing in a container of soil. Then they compare the effectiveness of cleaning their hands with just a paper towel vs.

In this math activity, learners play a number game to explore the relationships between numbers, combinations, and the concept of equivalency.

In this math activity, learners use cubes to calculate how many blocks it would take to build stairways with different heights.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.
