This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) about the mixture of materials in bone and how they affect its strength.

In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.

In this quick activity about predicting (located on page 2 of the PDF under Where's Nano?

This simulation of laparoscopic surgery enables learners to practice and to learn this modern surgical technique.

Scientists use enormous wind tunnels to test the design of planes, helicopters, even the Space Shuttle.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF, learners compare water with artificial urine to see how urinalysis works. Learners use urinalysis test strips to test for glucose and protein in the fake urine.

In this online Flash game, learners test their engineering know-how, moving a collection of mechanical parts onto a board to make complete a system of parts that will move a ball from start to finish.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners make a slimy substance very similar to mucus, and sprinkle it with glitter to imitate the way that allergens are trapped.

Historically, sea floor mapping (bathymetry) was done by soundings.

This activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into testing a repair material.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

In this activity about electricity, learners imagine that they are out in the wilderness and it is getting dark. Their task is to use the materials supplied to build a simple flashlight.

Learners work in groups to build model cars from paper parts. First, each learner builds cars individually and the group times themselves.
