Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.

In this activity, learners build a game that tests their steadiness. Learners construct the game board by setting up an electrical circuit and a wand.

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

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, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

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

In this multi-part activity learners examine non-point water pollution.

In this demonstration, learners discover that nanoparticles behave differently, in part because they have a high surface area to volume ratio.

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

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

Learners use shop tools and various materials to construct a magnetic spinner and a compass.

In this engineering challenge, learners design and build a crane out of cardboard to see how heavy a load it can lift.

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.

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 two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

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 explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) is a cloning method that involves transferring a nucleus from a somatic cell of the individual to be cloned to an enucleated egg.
