No bones about it!
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) about the mixture of materials in bone and how they affect its strength.

An Inventory of My Traits
Source Institutions
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.

Motor Learning
Source Institutions
In this activity (26th on the page), learners construct an easy-to-build device and test motor learning.

Super Memory
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 26-29 of the PDF), learners investigate how they can develop super memories by using mnemonic devices.

The Ups and Downs of Body Temperature
Source Institutions
In this activity (1st on the page), learners explore circadian rhythms by keeping track of their body temperature.

Science at the Waterpark!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides) is a full inquiry investigation into speed and motion and takes place at a water park.

Solar Water Heater
Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

Trash Talkin'
In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.

Determining the Amount of Transpiration from a Schoolyard Tree
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners calculate the number of milliliters of water a nearby tree transpires per day.
The Return of El Nino
Source Institutions
In this activity related to climate change and data analysis, learners examine temperature and precipitation data to determine if climate variations are due to El Niño.

Breaking Point
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

Smaller Than You Think
Source Institutions
Learners compare a life-size drawing of a Tyrannosaurus rex head and a full-size Sinornithosaurus body to understand that dinosaurs varied in size.

Stepping Out: Hop, Skip, Jump
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

What's the Angle?
Source Institutions
This activity helps learners understand how the angle of the Sun affects temperatures around the globe.

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

OBIS Oil Spill
Source Institutions
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.

Nano Scavenger Hunt
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Where's Nano? Activity) about identifying nanoscale objects and phenomena in today's world.

Work Up An Appetite
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners participate in fun movement activities while playing on a giant game board. Use this activity to get learners involved in physical activity.

Dinosaur Breath
Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, learners examine the geological (ancient) carbon cycle.

Modeling an HIV Particle
Source Institutions
This activity helps learners visualize the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) by constructing three-dimensional HIV particle models from paper.
