In this activity, learners can create five-layer density columns by employing one of three (or all) methods.

In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.

In this optics activity, learners explore color by examining color dots through colored water and the light of a flashlight.

This activity allows learners to explore the scientific method in an open-ended fashion, using the 4-P Approach to Science Inquiry developed by the University of Wisconsin, Beloit.

In this simulation, learners model two elephant seal populations and how they change over time. Learners start with cards representing a variety of seals.

In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners transform a strain of E. coli using green fluorescent protein from a bioluminescent jellies.

In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore insulation. Leaners investigate how insulation can be used to slow down the conduction of heat from one side of a wall to the other.

In this activity, learners make a scale model of an atom to see how big or how small an atom is compared to its nucleus. Learners will realize that most of matter is just empty space!

In this lab (Activity #2 on page), learners compare bacteria growth on two petri dishes containing nutrient agar. Learners touch the doors, faucets, etc.

In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.

In this math lesson, learners practice reading charts and graphs by creating and interpreting glyphs.

In this math activity, learners use gingerbread cookies to collect and organize simple data. First, learners read "The Gingerbread Boy" by Paul Galdone.

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 how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

In this laboratory experiment, learners explore how effectively different sunscreens protect yeast cells from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this activity, learners calculate the width (horizontal diameter) of the blind spot on their retina. Learners make a blind spot tester using a piece of notebook paper.

In this activity, learners practice counting and multiplication as they figure out how many animal body parts they have to examine as "Dr. Vet."
