In this activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

In this activity, learners use their imaginations and picture a scene in their heads.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this math activity, learners use non-standard measurement (paces) to find the distance from one point to another. Learners practice estimating and measuring distances .

In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

In this activity (on page 134 of the PDF), learners explore reaction time.

Before there were clocks, people used shadows to tell time. In this outdoor activity, learners will discover how to tell time using only a compass, a pencil, a handy printout, and a sunny day.

In this outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

Learners recreate the classic egg-drop experiment with an analogy to the Mars rover landing. The concept of terminal velocity will be introduced, and learners perform several velocity calculations.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this activity, learners construct their own small catapults using simple materials. Learners follow visual instructions to build their launching device.

In this activity, learners build a nanorover model using styrofoam meat trays and a balloon.

In this activity on page 1 of the PDF, learners compare the relative sizes of biological objects (like DNA and bacteria) that can't be seen by the naked eye.
