Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.

EEEEK--A Mouse!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering solved the problem of human/computer interface.

Periscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to look over ledges or around corners.

Reason for the Seasons
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 6 of the PDF), learners plot the path of the sun's apparent movement across the sky on two days, with the second day occurring two or three months after the first.

Find Your Way Around Without Visual or Sound Cues
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

Energy For Life
Source Institutions
In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 1 of PDF), learners observe and quantify the growth of yeast when it is given table sugar as a food source.

Plant Piping
Source Institutions
Learners build models to learn about the special cells and structures that plants use to move water from their roots up through the stems and leaves.

Katta Villayatu
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a game from India similar to Tic-Tac-Toe. Players take turns placing coins on the game board and sliding the coins along the spaces.

Source Institutions
The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

Coma Cluster of Galaxies
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will first learn the basics of galaxy classification and grouping.

Mirror, Mirror
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test the Law of Reflection based on experimental evidence. Learners produce raw data and explanations based on their data: pencil tracings of incident and reflection rays.

Decoding Machine
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore variables and their uses.

Fingerprints
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine their fingerprints and learn that they can be categorized by shape, but each fingerprint is unique.
Build a Bridge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

Static Friction Prediction
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Kinetic Sculpture Challenge Activity), learners will predict which objects have to overcome the most static friction to slide down a ramp.

Measuring UP!
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners use inchworm measuring tools to measure the lengths of several objects in the room.

Feet Fit
Source Institutions
In this self-measuring activity, learners measure and record the length of their foot.

Block Neighborhood
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will build a neighborhood out of blocks and cardboard.

Vectoring: Steering a Plane
Source Institutions
In this two part activity, learners work in pairs or individually to discover how vectoring the thrust from a jet engine affects movement of an airplane.

Rubber Band Racers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.
