In this activity, learners use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

In this activity, learners cut wells in JELL-O© and load the wells with different detergent solutions.

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.

In this design challenge activity, learners use two helium-filled balloons to build a blimp that can travel in a straight path across the room.

This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners observe as two parallel, current-carrying wires exert forces on each other.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation about the different causes of glacial melt.

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.

In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.

In this math lesson, learners rotate through six estimating and measuring centers. First, learners read the book, "Room for Ripley" by Stuart J.

In this math activity, learners experiment with the concept of symmetry.

In this quick activity, learners take a balance challenge to measure their average balance time. As they collect data, they investigate how practice and repetition improve their balance time.

In this goopy activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will model glacial movement with “gak,” a white glue and liquid starch mixture.

In this activity, learners explore how the pendulum has been a reliable way to keep time for centuries.

In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.

In this activity, learners explore computer programming and the impact of computers on society. Learners build and test a program to turn a light on and off using an Arduino board.

In this activity, learners explore the unique challenges in transportation engineering, such as devising a method for skiers or hikers to get to the top of a mountain.
