In this math lesson, learners count and compare amounts of money less than or equal to one dollar.

This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

In this activity related to indoor air pollution, learners build take-home dust catchers with wax paper and petroleum jelly.

Learners observe a model of a cell and its chromosomal DNA made from a plastic egg and dental floss. Use this model to illustrate how much DNA is held in one cell.

In this food science activity, learners explore digestion and proteins by observing the action of meat tenderizer on luncheon meat.

Learners display their findings after a study of surface area and volume. They build a mobile to show a commercially available box and a constructed cubical box of the same volume.

In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF), learners make a "mini-globe" to investigate the causes of day and night on our planet.

In this activity, learners use models of fossilized dinosaur teeth to understand how dinosaur teeth were used.

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

In this math lesson, learners use hinged mirrors to discover that regular polygons are composed of triangles tessellating around a center point.

In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

In this activity, learners predict where a ball will go after it bounces off another object. Learners discover that the motion of objects is predictable based on laws of motion.

In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

Learners set up books with rubber bands stretched between the books. When two identical books are stretched apart and released, they move back toward each other an equal distance.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to determine the length of the Statue of Liberty's torch-bearing arm.

In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

In this activity about the brain and sleep (on page 138 of the PDF), learners measure their resting breathing rates. Learners will discover that breathing frequencies vary amongst individuals.
