Effects of Solar Radiation on Land and Sea
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.
Parasite Sleuth
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 26-33), learners play parasitologists, solving several "mysteries" about people who got sick from various parasites. In teams of four, each member solves one mystery.
Rocking Changes
Source Institutions
In this earth science activity, learners conduct a series of short experiments to explore how rocks change.
Family Flyers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams to build and test paper airplanes. Learners try to fly their airplanes directly on the runway and earn points for accuracy.
Stuck on You: Adhesion
Source Institutions
Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.
Floating Head Cup
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners watch a figure "magically" float up through the air.

Gas Producing Micro-Reaction
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use common chemicals and metals to examine reactions that produce gaseous substances.
Balancing Act
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will build a class 1 lever and hypothesize and test the distances two objects need to be placed from the fulcrum in order to balance.
Math and Creativity Posters
Source Institutions
These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How many colors can you name in a minute? or How many seconds can you balance on one foot?
