In this activity (page 7 of PDF), learners will identify the general two-dimensional geometric shape of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater.

In this physics activity, learners build a toy with a figure that spins around like a gymnast on the high bar.

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.

In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.

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

In this activity, learners investigate procedural memory.

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.

Learners use scientific processes to solve a crime. As they get clues, learners must create a hypothesis then adjust that hypothesis as more information is revealed.

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

In this activity, learners compare and contrast different forms of luminescence by observing how chemiluminescence, phosphorescence, and fluorescence produce or emit light.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners use gumdrops and toothpicks to model the composition and molecular structure of three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4).

In this activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.

In this quick activity about predicting (located on page 2 of the PDF under Where's Nano?

In this activity, learners calculate the number of milliliters of water a nearby tree transpires per day.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of conducting or insulating electricity.

In this activity, learners become detectives and use chemistry to investigate fingerprints.

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

This simulation of laparoscopic surgery enables learners to practice and to learn this modern surgical technique.
