In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this activity, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners visualize the relative size and structural differences between microbes that have the potential to cause disease.

In this demonstration, learners watch as a device drops a ball into a cup without touching the ball or cup, even though the ball and cup are virtually side-by-side.

In this activity, learners can create five-layer density columns by employing one of three (or all) methods.

In this group activity, learners use some common objects and work together to simulate the Coriolis effect. During the challenge, learners make predictions and test different scenarios.

In this activity, learners play a game that models what happens as stem cells differentiate into different cell types.

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

In this activity, learners play a game and use pattern blocks to explore mirror images and reflection.

This activity guide includes instructions on how to build a "Shake Table" by mounting an eccentric mass (off center) on the shaft of a small dc motor.

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

In this activity, learners build bridges using paper and explore how much weight each bridge design can support.

In this activity, learners build bridges and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with straws and pins.

In this activity, learners explore the "nuts and bolts" of gene chips.

In this hands-on and feet-on excursion, learners take a science walk to visualize the planet's immense size and numerous structures, without the usual scale and ratio dimensions found in most textbook

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.

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