Keep a "SLOG" (Sleep Log)
Source Institutions
In this activity (1st on the page), learners keep a "SLOG" or Sleep Log to study their sleep patterns.

Make a Model of a Home Made From Shipping Containers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

Off Base
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the factors that tend to resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.

What's Hiding in the Air?: Rubber Band Air Test
Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.

Stabilization Wedges Game
Source Institutions
This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.

Statistics: Something Fishy
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to the capture-recapture statistical procedure.

Combustion
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners discover that the weight of the product of combustion is greater than that of the starting material.

Plant Parts You Eat
Source Institutions
In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

Round, Light and Hollow
Source Institutions
In this activity about bones (page 12 of PDF), learners investigate and compare the weight-bearing capacity of solid and hollow cylinders.

Heart Rate and Exercise
Source Institutions
In this activity about heart health (on page 27 of the PDF), learners measure their heart rates after a variety of physical activities and compare the results with their resting heart rates, and with

Round & Round
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make and test fly paper helicopters. Learners use templates to create paper helicopters and then take take turns flying them in the air.

Heat Capacity: Can't Take the Heat?
Source Institutions
Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

Fungus Among Us
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

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.

Servings and Choices
Source Institutions
In this nutrition activity (page 16 of PDF), learners document their individual eating habits and learn whether their eating patterns meet their needs.

Investigating Sleep
Source Institutions
In this activity about sleep rhythms (on page 25 of the PDF), learners will investigate how changing the time they go to bed impacts their own sleep patterns.

Computation and Estimation: Alphabits
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratios and percentages to the distribution of letters contained in a box of Alphabits® cereal.

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.

Tools of Magnification
Source Institutions
In this activity related to microbes, learners use water drops and hand lenses to begin the exploration of magnification. This activity also introduces learners to the microscope.

Airfoils
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners discover how an airfoil creates lift. Learners use simple materials to build an airfoil and test it at different angles to investigate Bernoulli's principle.
