In this water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.

In this hands-on activity, learners discover the similarities and differences between a vertebrate and invertebrate by dissecting a perch and a crawfish.

In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.

This simulation helps learners understand what happens to food as it passes through the digestive system.

In this activity, learners use geometry in observing the shapes and angles soap bubbles create when they join together.

In this activity, learners use gelatin as a lens to investigate the properties of laser light.

Learners measure irregularly shaped bones using a variety of measurement methods and tools. Then, they measure again using standard conventions and metric tape measures.

This chocolate chip cookie recipe includes templates for baking night sky constellations of the season right on top! Two templates are included, one for 9pm mid-April, and one for 10pm mid-July.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering and principles behind working elevators.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from yeast using simple materials.

In this activity, learners will dip different items in paint and then roll those items down a ramp. Learners will use science process skills such as observations and experimenting.

In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass.

In this outdoor activity and animal-role-play game, learners discover and uncover the hidden world of "cryptozoa"—organisms such as spiders, salamanders and slugs that live under objects, like rocks a

In this activity, learners test different food items by timing how long it takes each liquid to slide from the top of a ramp to the bottom.

In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, use a special plastic card that has been painted with a chemical that changes color when it is in UV light.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Sailboat Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization.

In this activity, learners design a device to solve a problem: how to get a ball out of a drain pipe.

In this activity, learners identify the DNA base bars guanine, cytosine, thymine and adenine. Learners create a DNA model using colored paper clips to resemble these base pairs.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

This is written as a display, but can easily be adapted to a hands-on activity. Learners observe and shake containers of shiny liquids.
