In this outdoor activity, learners cut through and investigate rotten logs and then make log-profile puzzles for each other.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.

This activity is designed to introduce learners to genes, genotypes and simple inheritance patterns.

In this two-part activity, learners compare and contrast a variety of life cycles to better understand different organisms and how they develop.

This is an activity in which learners explore the effects of gravity, motion and momentum while creating art.

Learners investigate how the temperature of water affects its density.

Learners create an electrical-circuit maze out of wire, then try to pass a paperclip through the maze without touching the wire.

This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).

Learners will determine their respiratory rate and explore the factors that affect breathing rate by filling out and using the Respiratory Chart provided in the lesson.

In this activity, learners construct a device that projects images onto a surface, so they can trace landscapes and other sights.

In this chemistry activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will identify the instances of physical change, chemical change, and solutions while making homemade soda pop.

In this outdoor fall activity, learners find out what living in or under a layer of leaves is like.

In this outdoor activity, learners go "can fishing" and discover the kinds of aquatic organisms that live in and on submerged cans.

In this activity, learners learn about the adaptations that flowers have developed which support pollination. Learners also list their personal preferences (i.e.

In this activity, learners use bubbles to investigate the structure and unique properties of cell membranes. Bubbles serve as macroscopic models that mimic the cells' phospholipid bilayers.

In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.

This activity about cryptographic techniques illustrates a situation where information is shared, and yet none of it is revealed.

In this activity, learners use simple tools to build a bookshelf with a built-in bookend.

In this activity (page 10 of PDF), learners approximate the area of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater using a variety of square grids.
