In this activity about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

In this activity, learners will explore the foods that are in their kitchen and what sugars are inside of them. Explore nutrition and food labels to better understand the foods you eat.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

In this laboratory activity, learners design an experiment to evaluate how environmental factors influence the growth of molds.

In this activity, learners build a simple solar oven out of household materials to melt chocolate and marshmallow between graham crackers--known as s'mores.

In this activity, learners will use magnets and household items to create a structure that allows paperclips to appear like they are floating.

In this activity, learners are challenged, using everyday objects, to create simple machines to complete specific tasks.

In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity of a given habitat.

In this amazing activity about light and reflection, learners will use a pie plate and reflective strips from a mylar balloon to try to morph their face into a friend's.

In this simulation of natural selection, learners use binder clips in three different sizes to represent the diversity of beak sizes in a bird population.

Through this nutrition activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will understand—and probably be surprised by—how big serving sizes of various foods should be.

During this activity, learners will make different versions of "ooze" using varied proportions of detergent and glue.

In this exercise and nutrition activity, learners will explore how food is the fuel that powers them. They will create a chart to figure out how many calories they burn during recess.

In this activity, learners actually feel the difference in energy required to light two different types of light bulbs: incandescent light and LEDs.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed sorting systems which integrate into manufacturing and packaging processes. Learners explore how coins are made.

In this activity, learners construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.

In this activity, learners explore how product design differences can affect the success of a final product -- in this case a bag for holding candy.

In this two-part lesson, learners discover how large bodies of water can serve as a heat source or sink at different times and how proximity to water moderates climate along the coast.
