In this optics activity, learners examine how polarized light can reveal stress patterns in clear plastic.

Cool off in the heat with this project! Learners use simple materials to build a fan that runs on a motor.

In this long-term activity, learners make a home for a colorful community of microorganisms.

In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

In this trick, hold your hand over a burning candle without getting burned, by reflecting and transmitting the light of two candles. This activity is best suited as a demonstration.

In this activity, learners work in groups to create a time line representing significant moments in their lives.

In this activity, learners use coverslips to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

Learners compare the properties and solubilities of Styrofoam (TM), ecofoam packing peanuts, and popcorn. First, the solubility of each substance is tested in water.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering has made possible the development of--and ongoing improvements to--adaptive devices that serve to help individuals with a wide range o

In this experiment, learners will explore whether increased carbon dioxide makes our oceans more basic or more acidic.

In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

In this outdoor, ocean-side activity, learners investigate the distribution of organisms in the upper region of the intertidal zone.

In this nutrition activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will record their food consumption for one day, and then evaluate how their actual diet matched up with the recommended diet.

In this activity (14th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners examine if it is easier or harder to identify an object if they move their hands over it.

In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.

In this genetics activity, learners create and decode a “DNA recipe” for a dog by randomly selecting strips of paper that represent DNA.
