This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.

In this activity, learners experiment with different variables in making hollandaise sauce to achieve the correct texture and consistency.

In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

In this activity, learners explore sublimation by conducting experiments with dry ice.

In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.

In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

Learners observe and record what happens when they manipulate bottles containing a liquid (water or corn syrup) and one or more objects (screw, nail, paper clip).

In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length. Learners first read "How Big is a Foot" by Rolf Myller and learn about units.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will measure the rate at which water streams out of a leaky cup.

In this activity, learners listen to a story and tell a story of their own as they learn about the importance of elders in Native American cultures.

In this experiment, learners construct an equilateral triangle using graph paper, a pencil, protractor and ruler. They also make a "laser triangle" using a laser pointer and front-silvered mirrors.

In this activity, learners use cheap, thin plastic garbage bags to quickly build a solar hot air balloon. In doing so, learners will explore why hot air rises.

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

In this up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

In this activity related to the human circulatory system (on page 10 of the PDF), learners observe the dispersion of a drop of food coloring in water, draw conclusions about the movement of dissolved

In this activity, learners explore how musical instruments are engineered.

Learners build a simple aneroid barometer to learn about changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They observe their barometer and record data over a period of days.
