In this activity, learners make colored sugar and add it to water, alcohol, and oil to discover some interesting differences in dissolving.

Learners build a yo-yo using a piece of wood, PVC pipe, and string. In doing so, learners explore the force of gravity and angular momentum.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

In this experiment, learners test multiple food items to see if they are an acid or base using an indicator solution created with red cabbage.

Using indirect observational methods, learners distinguish between charged and uncharged objects.

In this outdoor, sensory activity, learners role play as animals trying to identify their "family's" scent and locate their "territory." Learners mark their territories and sniff out other territories

In this group activity, learners consider environmental conditions—temperature, presence of water, atmosphere, sunlight, and chemical composition—on planets and moons in our solar system to determine

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Behind the Scenes with Chemistry), learners make some special effects, including snow and breaking glass, with supplies found in the home.

In this quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity), learners will observe how dry breakfast cereal appears to dance when it gets close to a balloon charged with static

In this chemistry activity which should only be done under adult supervision (page 10 of the PDF), learners will create an exothermic process by making Sodium Acetate.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Light and Color Activity), learners will see the illusion of colors produced by a rotating black and white image known as Benham’s Disk.

In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

In this chemistry activity, learners use common chemicals and metals to explore single replacement reactions.

In this math lesson, learners design an experiment to model a leaky faucet and determine the amount of water wasted due to the leak.

Learners test two jars of ice water, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

In this activity about the circulatory system and space travel (on page 38 of the PDF), learners use water balloons to simulate the effects of gravity and microgravity on fluid distribution in the bod

In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners use glue instead of glass to create artwork that can be hung in a window.
