This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

In this activity, learners explore how to protect their skin while applying pesticides to plants.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.

This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.

In this activity, learners act as the Earth and observe how different angles between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the phases of the moon we see each month.

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

In this physics crime lab or demonstration, learners pretend they are criminologists and must find the "muzzle velocity" (speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun) of a gun used to commit a crime.

In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.

In this activity, learners dissect a piece of pizza to learn about nutrients important for health.

Learners play the role of materials engineers as they test the flexibility of different materials.

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

In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea

In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

This magic trick is based on how computers detect and correct data errors.

In this interactive and informative group activity, learners use packages of M&M's to illustrate the difference between weather and climate.

As a group, learners investigate three packages which are all the same size and shape, but have different contents. One is filled with foam, one is filled with wood, and one is filled with metal.
