What's a Pickle-Oh? Two pieces of pickle on a stick are connected to a Pico Cricket (micro controller). When you slide the pickles apart the note changes.

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.

In this activity, learners build a tool called an inclinometer that can find the height of any distant object, from a tree to the North Star.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.

During this lesson, learners will determine their blood pressure and learn about systolic and diastolic pressures.

In this activity about neuron/target muscle recognition (page 44 of the PDF), learners arranged in two rows facing away from each other use string to simulate neural development.

In this activity, learners will create their own simple shadow puppets, and experiment with light and shadow while playing with them.

In this activity, learners explore and compare the buoyant properties of materials found in nature and in human-made materials.

In this activity, learners will reuse plastic bags in an interesting way.

In this activity, learners will dissect a pumpkin or winter squash to learn the parts of the plant. This activity gets your learner hands on with every part of the plant and will be messy.

In this activity, learners explore temperature changes from chemical reactions by mixing urea with water in one flask and mixing calcium chloride with water in another flask.

Learners listen to and try to decipher a radio message that was sent from Earth to possible intelligent civilizations.

This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

Directed by instructional cards, learners kinesthetically model cell communication by acting as components in a cell signaling pathway.

In this activity, learners will experiment with textures, shapes, and materials and create their own unique masterpieces.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.
