Learners cover a bottle with a balloon. When they immerse the bottle in warm water, the balloon inflates. When they immerse the bottle in a bowl of ice, the balloon deflates.

This game teaches ratio and proportion by having learners make "salads" that combine three types of beans in different combinations.

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.

In this activity, learners investigate how geometry plays a role in perspective.

In this activity, learners examine photo images of Earth taken from space, and attempt to identify and explain some of our planet's geological features.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of plastic bags. Learners find out what happens when they slowly push a pencil through a plastic bag filled with water.

In this activity, learners build a paper model of the spacecraft and photometer (telescope) used during NASA's Kepler Mission.

In this activity, learners discover a trick to release the air out of a balloon without popping it.

In this activity, learners use a toaster to generate wind and compare the appliance's heat source to Jupiter's own hot interior. Learners discover that convection drives wind on Jupiter and on Earth.

In this math lesson (page 2 of the PDF), learners use bottles of various shapes to explore the abstract concept of rate of change.

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

In this biology activity, learners recreate the process of digestion in a zip lock bag. A bit of soda pop added to some crumbled crackers approximates how acids in the stomach dissolve food.

In this activity, learners explore why frost forms. They create their own frost using a solution of ice water and salt in a glass.

Conduct a simple experiment to explore how temperature changes can make things expand or contract.

Learners imagine they are paleontologists in Florida, where they find (remove from envelope) paper "fossils" of some unknown creature, only a few at a time.

In this activity, learners place cards featuring biological structures in order by their relative size from largest to smallest.

In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

In this demonstration, learners attempt to get a large coin through a small hole, the size of a smaller coin.

Learners create a tool to measure how well they grip a wet object when their fingers are smooth versus wrinkly. Are smooth or wrinkly fingers better at holding on to the object?

In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.
