See the Colors in Leaves
Source Institutions
Learners use chromatography to separate and analyze the mixture of pigments in leaves. Use this activity to discuss photosynthesis as well as why leaves change color in autumn.

Take It in Stride
Source Institutions
In this health and fitness activity, learners focus on the importance of daily physical activity, specifically walking.

Keep Out!
Source Institutions
In this technology activity, learners build an "alarming" doormat to keep siblings out of their rooms. Use this activity to teach learners about circuits, switches, and sensors.

Groovy Sounds
Source Institutions
In this activity related to music and sound vibrations, learners make a phonograph or record player out of simple materials. First, learners assemble the turntable, arm, and sound cone.

Stop: Practice Stopping at Vehicle Intersections
Source Institutions
This is an online game about stopping distance. Learners choose one of three vehicles and one of three speeds.
Jump on Tens: Counting Fun
Source Institutions
Learners combine counting, multiples, and number patterns with jumping up and down. To start, pick a counting number.

Parachuting Pinwheel
Source Institutions
Build a pinwheel that works without wind! This activity contains steps on how to build a parachuting pinwheel out of paper, a film canister, and some brads.

Do Plants Need Sunlight?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.

Kick Stick Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners investigate series circuits and motors to build a hand-held "kick stick." Their goal is create a battery-operated device that sends a Ping-Pong ball across

Sunblock Investigation
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners set up a simple experiment to find out how sunscreen counteracts the effects of the sun.

Dinosaur Skull and Body Length Predictions
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Baby Dinosaurs Activity), learners will look for a relationship between skull size and body length among various dinosaurs.

Can Car
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a race-car out of a coffee can and rubber band. Demonstrate motion, forces, kinetic and potential energy and friction.

Sea Turtle Populations
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity), learners will model how a sea turtle population changes over time, from eggs to adults, using puffed rice.

Jump to It!
Source Institutions
This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (second activity on the page).

Extreme Kicking Machine
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity follow up to "Kicking Machine", learners add a hands-free feature to their Kicking Machine.

Can You "See" Thermal Radiation?
Source Institutions
Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.

Slime
Source Institutions
Learners make slime from white school glue and Borax detergent. The long chain molecules of the white glue become cross-linked by the Borax into a big network.

Bearings for Your Whirligig
Source Institutions
Experiment with friction and make bearings for a whirligig! This activity is a nice introduction to friction and bearings and demonstrates why bearings are useful for spinning.

Motorized Car
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that uses a battery-operated motor to "drive" at least ten feet.

The Crayon Rock Cycle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.
