In this activity (pages 5-7), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

Build time sense into the schedule by asking learners to predict what can happen in a certain amount of time: We have 20 minutes before outdoor time. What can you get done?

In this activity, learners will explore how their own eyes work by experimenting with their photoreceptors.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners investigate how much sugar is in a soda. Learners use sugar cubes to measure and calculate the amount of sugar in a bottle of soda.

In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

In this activity, learners explore how polarizing sunglasses can help diminish road glare.

In this activity, learners work in partners to create and exchange messages written in Braille. Learners use a Braille key and thumbtacks to write their messages in Braille.
