In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will make a can that will roll back after it has been rolled away to observe the interactions of kinetic and potential energy.

In this fun and imaginative writing assignment (page nine of the pdf), students will flex the creative side of their brains to learn more about the laws of motion and the scientific process.

In this environmental activity (page 16 of the PDF), learners will calculate the amount of energy they save by recycling paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum materials over the span of a week.

In this exciting and tasty chemistry activity which requires adult supervision, learners explore how chemistry affects a simple everyday activity like cooking.

This is an online game that explores speed, range and momentum. Learners will pick the winners in a 16-team tournament in 3 events: Tug-o-war, sprint, and marathon.

In this activity about magnetism (page 15 of the PDF), learners will explore how opposite and similar magnetic poles affect a swinging (pendulum) magnet.

This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 6 of the PDF). Students make a limewater testing solution for carbon dioxide and explore the concepts of solubility and precipitates.

This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 7 of the PDF). Learners see firsthand how chemicals in a solution can combine to form an entirely different substance.

In this activity about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.
