Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this activity, learners will use a compact disc to build an air puck that can glide across a smooth tabletop. The puck glides with almost no friction on a cushion of air escaping from a balloon.

In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

In this activity, learners will make and launch feather rockets. Lerners will use science process skils such as making predictions and measuring while launching the rockets.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

In this data activity, learners analyze data from coral reef snapshots taken by scientists at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

Cool off in the heat with this project! Learners use simple materials to build a fan that runs on a motor.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

In this activity, learners will put a set of containers in order by capacity. Would the tallest container hold more or less water than the wide, short one?

Use this activity to build division and number sense into any snack time or whenever there is a limited set of things to share among a group: If we deal these out, could everyone get two pieces?

In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

Learners will collect pennies to donate and will combine charitable giving with estimating and calculating with money. To start choose a charity or something to save up for together.

In this technology activity, learners build simple circuits, design soft circuits using conductive thread, and then sew switch-activated circuits.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to build their own compass.

In this activity, learners conduct the "Stroop Effect" test and explore what happens when they try to complete two simple tasks at the same time.

Learners draw comic-style pictures to show the water cycle. From a starting picture, one learner draws what happens to the water in the next panel, then passes the comic strip to another learner.

In this online game, learners run an outer space drink stand and thirsty alien customers are on the way.

In this activity, learners bake cookies by following different recipes to better understand genetic mutations. Everyone in the group bakes the same type of cookie: chocolate chip.
