In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

This activity is on page 3 (continued on page 2) of the pdf, part of the Simple Machines Discovery Box. In this fun activity, learners "create" a complex machine by simulating the parts in action.

In this fun activity about spiders, learners build and design a spider from cardstock, straw, string, and pipe cleaners.

In this online Flash game, learners will captain a sailing challenge, adjusting boat direction and sails, seeking the way to take greatest advantage of varying wind speeds and directions to catch the

Experiment with friction and make bearings for a whirligig! This activity is a nice introduction to friction and bearings and demonstrates why bearings are useful for spinning.

In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.

This experiment allows learners to experience a small scale "epidemic," demonstrating the ease with which disease organisms are spread, and enables learners to determine the originator of the "epidemi

In this online interactive simulation, learners will add different salts to water and then watch the salts dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

This is an activity about waves. Using marbles, paper clips and rubber bands, learners explore how waves behave.

This activity is about collecting and analyzing DNA as part of a criminal investigation.

In this activity, learners play a game that models what happens as stem cells differentiate into different cell types.

In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the water cycle using movement, sound, and props to aid in comprehension.

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind the conveyor belt and consider the impact this invention has had on transportation and the coordinated shipping and delivery of goods.

A group of learners simulates the spread of disease by trading slips of paper, one set of which has been treated with a baking soda solution.

In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

In this activity (pages 17-31), learners are introduced to techniques that are used to determine the structures of solid materials.
