In this activity, learners create their own weather forecast map.

In this investigation, learners gather information on various food items during a field trip to a local grocery store.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how forensic investigators collect prints from a crime scene. Learners make hand impressions in damp sand and analyze the patterns they observe.

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

In this activity, learners will listen to as many radio stations as possible to discover that AM radio signals can travel many hundreds of miles at night.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

Learners measure irregularly shaped bones using a variety of measurement methods and tools. Then, they measure again using standard conventions and metric tape measures.

In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.

In this lesson, learners will practice graphing and statistically analyzing data.

In this activity, learners use a fictitious map of "Tourist Town" and counters to problem solve how to place ice-cream vans on street intersections so that every other intersection is connected to one

This activity aims to stimulate discussion on the question of whether computers can exhibit “intelligence,” or are ever likely to do so in the future.

In this activity, learners construct three math puzzles out of simple materials like wood, string, and Styrofoam.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

In this math lesson, learners determine and compare the rate of descent of various learner-constructed parachutes. Learners construct parachutes that will have maximum hang times.

In this math lesson, learners are given 15 chips and a number line labeled from 2-12.

In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.

In this activity about sleep rhythms (on page 21 of the PDF), learners will collect data about their own sleep cycles and use a fraction wheel to examine their data.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

In this activity about the human heart (on page 5 of the PDF), learners work in teams to simulate the volume of blood moved through the circulatory system by transferring liquid into--and through--a s

In this activity about heart health (on page 34 of the PDF), learners measure their own blood pressure using an electronic blood pressure monitor with a self-inflating cuff (included in cost of materi
