In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea

In this activity, learners create music from a series of bottles filed with water. Learners discover that the sound produced by each bottle depends on the amount of water in the bottle.

While playing a game, learners discover how the Endangered Species Act works in the United States. Learners move along a game board by answering questions correctly.

In this activity about electricity and magnetism, learners discover how a doorbell works. A coil of wire with current flowing through it forms an electromagnet that acts similar to a bar magnet.

In this activity, learners make colored sugar and add it to water, alcohol, and oil to discover some interesting differences in dissolving.

In this experiment, learners test multiple food items to see if they are an acid or base using an indicator solution created with red cabbage.

In this quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity), learners will observe how dry breakfast cereal appears to dance when it gets close to a balloon charged with static

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

Learners test two jars of ice water, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Chemistry—It’s Elemental), learners use iodine to identify foods that contain starch.

In this activity on page 10 of the PDF, learners develop an experiment to answer the following question: "How much water can the hydrogel in a baby diaper hold?" Use this activity to explore polymers,

In this activity related to flight, learners build a tiny stream channel to investigate how fluids (air and water) change speed as they flow between and around objects.

In this activity about chemistry and electricity, learners form a battery by placing their hands onto plates of different metals.

In this activity, learners build a musical drum using a cardboard tube, plastic wrap, and beads.

This activity explores what it means for a computer to be intelligent and introduces the topic of what a computer program is and how everything computers do simply involves following instructions writ

In this experiment, learners use JOY liquid detergent and glycerin to make the largest bubble they can that lasts 15 seconds.

In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

In this activity, learners add different liquids to water and apply their working definition of “dissolving” to their observations.

Whether it's the genetic code, an ancient language, or patterns of light in a distant galaxy, scientists often have to play the role of decoder.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.
