In this activity about the brain and sleep (on page 138 of the PDF), learners measure their resting breathing rates. Learners will discover that breathing frequencies vary amongst individuals.

In this demonstration/activity, water streaming through holes in the bottom of a suspended soda pop can causes the can to rotate.

In this design challenge activity, learners use a balloon and other simple materials to design an air-powered rocket that can hit a distant target.

In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

In this interdisciplinary activity, learners create a Space Weather Action Center (SWAC) to monitor solar storms and develop real SWAC news reports.

In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.

In this activity, learners will train to increase bone strength and to improve heart and other muscle endurance by performing jump training with a rope, both while stationary and moving.

In this activity, learners construct a robot-like hand to demonstrate how data is collected when using robotic technology.

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

In this activity, learners will train to improve lung, heart, and other muscle endurance as they walk a progressive, measured distance.

This lesson plan provides learners with two activities to explore the connections between events in their lives and the seasons of the year.

This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle.

In this activity, learners train to increase muscular strength and improve upper and lower body coordination by performing the “bear crawl” and the "crab walk.” Learners perform the exercises over tim

In this activity, learners will train to develop upper and lower body strength in their muscles and bones by performing body-weight squats and push-ups.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

In this activity, learners sample a star field to estimate the number of stars in the universe.

In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.

In this activity (on page 142 of the PDF), learners will compare breathing rates before and after hyperventilation to explore how reduced carbon dioxide levels in the blood lower the need to breathe.
