In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Light and Color Activity), learners will see the illusion of colors produced by a rotating black and white image known as Benham’s Disk.

In this activity, learners explore what is and is not active play and how it contributes to a healthy body and mind. Making active play a routine part of every day is a key concept of the experience.

In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

In this activity, learners explore the work of paleontologists.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

In this chemistry activity, learners use common chemicals and metals to explore single replacement reactions.

In this math lesson, learners design an experiment to model a leaky faucet and determine the amount of water wasted due to the leak.

Learners test two jars of ice water, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

In this activity about the circulatory system and space travel (on page 38 of the PDF), learners use water balloons to simulate the effects of gravity and microgravity on fluid distribution in the bod

In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

In this activity learners explore surface tension. Why are certain objects able to float on the surface of water and how do detergents break the surface tension of water?

In this design challenge activity, learners build a four-stringed instrument that can play a tune.

In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

Learners will do an experiment to determine which type of paper is strongest while focusing on variables and collecting data.

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

In this activity, learners build a switch to turn electrical circuits on and off.

This activity has learners observe water and compare it to other liquids.

In this activity about human anatomy (page 16 of PDF), learners construct a model arm and discover how muscles and bones work together to achieve efficient movement.

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.
