In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity), learners will use food cans of many different properties (sizes, shapes, and weights) and set two cans on their sides at

In this activity, learners examine baking powder, a combination of three powders: baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch.

In this activity, learners work in teams to study the observation skills essential to scientific research.

In this chemistry activity, learners are asked to form a hypothesis about the behavior of milk as household detergents act upon it.

Learners conduct an experiment to determine the rate at which two materials, sand and water, heat up and cool down.

Learners turn over a random selection of cards from a larger set. From the words revealed, they try to determine the sentence represented on the larger set of cards.

Learners investigate a pre-constructed mystery tube to determine its interior mechanism.

In this activity about magnetism (page 15 of the PDF), learners will explore how opposite and similar magnetic poles affect a swinging (pendulum) magnet.

Learners observe the outside and inside of raw chicken eggs, record descriptions, and hypothesize what will happen when a facilitator drops an egg on the floor.

Learners work in teams to investigate how scientists use physical characteristics to classify living things.

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 lesson, learners are challenged to discover the relationship among six numbers.

Learners design their own experiment to determine which M&M color dissolves the fastest in water.

A group of learners has an envelope containing a series of bank checks. A few checks are removed at a time, and the team attempts to construct a plausible scenario which involves those checks.

On an imaginary fossil hunt, learners "find" (remove from envelope) paper "fossils" of some unknown creature, only a few at a time.

Learners explore the physical properties of a variety of balls and how they bounce.

This activity (on pages 15-23) combines interactive role-playing and graphing to introduce learners to the health affects of pollen.

Learners initially test to see how many drops of liquid (water, rubbing alcohol, and vegetable oil) can fit on a penny.

In this activity (page 26 of the PDF), learners make observations, formulate hypotheses and design a controlled experiment, based on the reaction of carbon dioxide with calcium hydroxide.

Each learner chews a piece of gum until it loses its flavor, and then leaves the gum to dry for several days.
