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

In this activity, learners conduct a simulation exercise related to public key encryption and try to intercept a message sent between two learners.

Learners observe projectile motion by launching wooden balls off of a table top. They set up a rubber-band launcher so that each ball experiences a consistent amount of force.

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

In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

In this activity about ramps, learners explore and measure the rate at which spherical objects roll down a ramp.

In this activity, learners create their own constellations and star patterns and write a short, descriptive story explaining the significance of their star pattern/constellation.

In this activity, learners develop an understanding of cylinders and volume as they compare two sizes of popcorn buckets.

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.

Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this activity, learners working in pairs saturate a cotton ball using water drops from an eyedropper to demonstrate the high water capacity of clouds.

In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.

In this activity, learners experiment with creating various types of bubble solutions and testing which ingredients form longer-lasting bubbles.

In this activity, learners discover how to determine the distance to a lightning strike or nearby thunderstorm.

In this math lesson, learners learn how to construct stem and leaf plots. Learners first estimate the number of drops of water that will fit on the head of a penny.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and a dig site. Learners work in groups to analyze a dig site map and match bones to a skeletal drawing of Kelsey (a Triceratops).

This great "re-use it" activity will demonstrate how to transform a greeting card into a box. Once constructed, the box can have many uses like holding special notes or keepsakes.

In this activity, learners create a garden in a disposable glove. They learn about the conditions necessary to make the seeds sprout and actively participate in caring for their plants.
