This laboratory activity helps learners understand the concept of biological succession by simulating the process in a microenvironment with various protozoans.

Cool off in the heat with this project! Learners use simple materials to build a fan that runs on a motor.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

This activity helps students learn how computers "compress" text by identifying repeating patterns of letters, words, and phrases.

In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

In this open-ended multicultural lab activity, learners investigate the effectiveness of herbal remedies.

In this activity, learners listen to songs and decode hidden messages based on the same principle as a modem. As a final challenge, learners decode the binary messages in a music video.

In this activity, learners bake cookies by following different recipes to better understand genetic mutations. Everyone in the group bakes the same type of cookie: chocolate chip.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

In this activity, learners explore how rescue devices are designed to aid professionals during emergency situations.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this activity, learners carry out a scientific investigation of dust in their classroom. Learners produce an analysis on graph paper of the dust they collect over the course of a few days.

In this activity, learners explore how a hydraulic pump works. Learners work in teams to design and build a unique water fountain that employs a hydraulic pump.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering solved the problem of human/computer interface.

In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

In this activity, learners explore the many uses of periscopes and how this simple device was designed and is used in many applications.

In this activity, learners will first learn the basics of galaxy classification and grouping.

In this activity, learners explore density, convection, stratification, and, by inference, the melting of icebergs. Learners make hypotheses, test their hypotheses, and explain their observations.

In this activity, learners test the Law of Reflection based on experimental evidence. Learners produce raw data and explanations based on their data: pencil tracings of incident and reflection rays.
