The Search for Secret Agents
Learners tour their school or home looking for sources of indoor air pollutants (IAPs).

Double Replacement Micro-Reactions
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use common chemicals to examine reactions that occur between two aqueous solutions.

Algebra: Aw Chute!
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners determine and compare the rate of descent of various learner-constructed parachutes. Learners construct parachutes that will have maximum hang times.

Probability: Remove One
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners are given 15 chips and a number line labeled from 2-12.

From the Ground Up
Source Institutions
In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.

Sleep Patterns
Source Institutions
In this activity about sleep rhythms (on page 21 of the PDF), learners will collect data about their own sleep cycles and use a fraction wheel to examine their data.

Good Stress
Source Institutions
In this activity about physical stress (page 28 of PDF), learners discover that muscles and bones need to work to stay strong.

Cabbage Juice Indicator
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners make indicator solution from red cabbage. Then, learners test everyday foods and household substances using the cabbage juice indicator.

What is Blood Pressure?
Source Institutions
In this activity about heart health (on page 34 of the PDF), learners measure their own blood pressure using an electronic blood pressure monitor with a self-inflating cuff (included in cost of materi

Sharks: Taking a Bite Out of The Myth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore trends in shark populations using shark landing data from the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Statistics: Creature Features
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners collect, organize, and analyze a set of data related to types of animals in the temperate forest.

Patterns and Functions: Fill 'er Up
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners predict, interpret, and sketch graphs of functions related to the shapes of bottles. A measure of water is poured into a container.

Computation and Estimation: Roll Out The Barrel
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners apply mathematical modeling to solve a real-world storage problem, in which a manufacturing company is given two options for storing oil barrels.

Roller Coaster Design
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into g-force and acceleration.

Population Study Game: Oh, Deer!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

Slowing the Flow
Source Institutions
In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

Rates of Change: Bottles and Divers
Source Institutions
In this math lesson (page 2 of the PDF), learners use bottles of various shapes to explore the abstract concept of rate of change.

Structure of Matter: Pigment vs. Iridescence
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) about how visible light is affected by tiny nanoscale structures, producing iridescence on butterfly wings, soap bubbl

Football
Source Institutions
In this math activity (Page 10 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "football" and analyze the results of the game.

Automotive Emissions and the Greenhouse Effect
Source Institutions
In this activity about global climate change, learners will conduct an experiment and collect data to compare the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in four different sources of gases.
