In this nighttime, outdoor activity, learners keep a record of what they see in the sky by drawing constellations, the Moon, and making note of the weather and conditions each day.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

In this physics crime lab or demonstration, learners pretend they are criminologists and must find the "muzzle velocity" (speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun) of a gun used to commit a crime.

In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this math-based activity, learners will experiment to find how height and angle affect spatter and then use this knowledge to solve a crime.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this series of exercises, learners predict the conditions necessary for bacterial growth, test their predictions and at the same time practice the aseptic techniques and safety procedures needed wh

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.

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 (page 7 of PDF), learners will identify the general two-dimensional geometric shape of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater.

In this genetics meets math activity, learners take inventories of their own easily-observable genetic traits and compare those inventories with other learners in groups.

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

In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

In this two-part activity about luminescence, learners explore the chemistry that happens inside glow sticks and other light producing reactions.

This activity helps learners understand how the angle of the Sun affects temperatures around the globe.

In this activity, learners make three different "seed" types and determine which design flies the farthest.

In this math lesson, learners explore the relationship between the thickness of a spaghetti bridge, the length of the bridge, and the amount of weight that can be supported by the bridge.

In this activity, learners build a stuffed-animal zip line. Learners hold a cord against a wall, hook a cute stuffed animal onto it, let the animal slide down, and records its travel time.

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.
