How Small Can You Cut?
Source Institutions
In this lesson, learners cut paper into very small pieces to explore the small size of quarks, the smallest thing we know of on Earth.

Whale Cart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners interact with whale artifacts such as replicas of skulls, bones, teeth, and baleen (hair-like plates that form a feeding filter).

Energy Use in the Americas
Source Institutions
Learners explore the relationship between energy consumption, population, and carbon emissions in the countries of the Americas.

Ramps 2: Ramp Builder
Source Institutions
In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.
Drip Drop
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.

Digger
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build their own construction cranes using tongue depressors and pushpins.

The Beaks of the Finches
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.

The Rain Man
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.

Restriction Enzyme Digestion: How does it work? Why is it useful?
Source Institutions
In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners use restriction enzymes to cut up DNA from a virus called Bacteriophage λ, a process known as restriction digestion.

If Anyone Can, Icon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.

Scientific Measurement Exercise
Source Institutions
Learners measure irregularly shaped bones using a variety of measurement methods and tools. Then, they measure again using standard conventions and metric tape measures.
Making Rivers
Source Institutions
In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

Conservation Island
Source Institutions
In this lesson, learners will understand the concepts behind endangered and extinct animals and develop their own conservation plan to save three endangered species.

Engineering Ups and Downs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering and principles behind working elevators.

Mission: Control!
Source Institutions
In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.
Energy Audit
Source Institutions
In this lesson, learners will practice graphing and statistically analyzing data.

Hot Stuff!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass.

Popsicle Bridge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

Balloon Car
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.

Building Tall
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity (page 2 of PDF), young learners investigate how a wide base can make a building more stable. Learners use blocks or boxes of different sizes to construct stable towers.
