In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

In this activity, learners apply Ohm’s Law to construct voltage divider circuits. Learners discover how to read resistor codes and calculate resistor values.

In this activity, learners observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color and temperature -- basic concepts of matter and energy.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

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

In this activity, learners will first learn the basics of galaxy classification and grouping.

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.

In this activity, learners examine their fingerprints and learn that they can be categorized by shape, but each fingerprint is unique.

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.

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.

In this activity, learners use tsunami time travel maps to predict how long it will take a tsunami to reach the shore.

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.

In this activity learners will "rescue" animals from tape and then sort the animals. Learners will use science process skills such as categorizing and making observations while they play.

In this activity, learners train to increase muscular strength and improve upper and lower body coordination by performing the “bear crawl” and the "crab walk.” Learners perform the exercises over tim

Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.
