In this activity about gravity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will come to understand how all objects will fall at the same rate, but that air will slow things down.

When was the last time you took a really close look at a leaf? In this activity, learners will use leaves and simple materials to make colorful leaf rubbings.

Create beautiful spirals by drawing a straight line. This sounds crazy, but you can with a turntable (a record player or lazy susan), paper, and pen.

In this activity, learners investigate just how small a billionth of a meter is by attempting to cut a paper ruler down to a nanometer-sized sliver.

In this activity, learners discover how a super-absorbing material can be used to move a straw.

In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.

In this activity, learners find out why some mineral sunblock rubs in clear. Learners compare nano and non-nano sunblocks and discover how particle size affects visibility.

In this activity, learners will keep track of how much they can do in one minute. Instructors can pick something everyone will do for a minute, such as jumping up and down or drawing stars.

In this activity, learners keep track of how much paper the group uses in a week. Build awareness of paper waste, while strengthening measurement and estimation skills.

In this outdoor activity, learners will gather natural materials outside that they think a dinosaur would want to lay its eggs in.

Learners experiment with a commercially available liquid-crystal coaster. They warm the material with their hands for varying lengths of time and observe the changing colors that result.

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of liquids and gas by playing with both! Learners of any age use their own breath to move drops of water across a smooth wax paper surface.

This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

En esta actividad, los aprendices usarán la lógica para ganar un juego. Dos personas toman turnos quitando uno o dos "cuerdas" de las estacas en el suelo.

In this activity, learners take a turn contributing a closed figure made of six squares to a large grid; each must be different from all the others on the grid so far.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

In this activity, learners will explore the foods that are in their kitchen and what sugars are inside of them. Explore nutrition and food labels to better understand the foods you eat.

This activity puts a mathematical twist on the familiar “guessing jar.” No guesses allowed, estimates only.

Do you have a hard time matching paint swatches with your furniture? When you consider human perception, color is context dependent.

In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.
