The purpose of this lab is to recognize that the answers to some of society's industrial challenges may lie right in our own backyards.

Get a roll of pennies, throw them on the ground, then remove those that only show tails, and repeat with the ones left over.

Learners place water and part of an antacid tablet in a film canister. The reaction creates a gas reaction that launches the film canister like a rocket.

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

In this nutrition activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will record their food consumption for one day, and then evaluate how their actual diet matched up with the recommended diet.

Learners use compasses to detect the magnetic field created by current moving through a wire. This is one of four activities learners can complete related to PhysicsQuest 2008.

In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.

In this activity (13th on the page), learners complete a simple illusion trick to see through their own hand.

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.

In this activity, learners explore computer programming and the impact of computers on society. Learners build and test a program to turn a light on and off using an Arduino board.

In this activity, learners explore the unique challenges in transportation engineering, such as devising a method for skiers or hikers to get to the top of a mountain.

Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en libros de consulta o en línea.

In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.

In this activity, learners model, on a human-sized board game, how changes in water temperature may affect fish distributions and, ultimately, fisheries.

In this activity, learners construct their own spectroscope as they explore and observe spectra from familiar light sources.

This demonstration/activity helps learners understand why higher elevations are not always warm simply because "hot air rises." Learners use a tire pump to increase the pressure and temperature inside

Many common household cleaners are antimicrobials.

Learners will do an experiment to determine which type of paper is strongest while focusing on variables and collecting data.

In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.
