In this online interactive, learners use fossils to infer temperatures 55 million years ago, at the sites where the fossils were found.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

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

In this activity, learners will investigate how shorebirds and seabirds are extremely vulnerable to changes in their environment, whether human-induced or otherwise.

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

In this math lesson, learners play a game to identify the properties of prime, composite, abundant, deficient and perfect numbers.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity), learners will develop their own version of a tool used by biologists, a dichotomous key, by collecting all their left shoes.

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.

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

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

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.

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 activity (9th activity on the page), learners work in pairs to see how their perception of touch differs from reality.

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