In this activity, learners play an active version of freeze tag based on predator/prey relationships.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

In this activity, learners will use household items to design and build an elevator that will carry 2 passengers to a height of 16 inches...or higher!

Learners explore how the attractive forces between water molecules create surface tension and allow certain objects to float on the surface of water.

In this activity, learners build a special rolling can that returns back to you when you push it forward. Use this activity to demonstrate the transfer of energy between kinetic and potential energy.

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

In this activity, learners examine photo images of Earth taken from space, and attempt to identify and explain some of our planet's geological features.

In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners build a paper model of the spacecraft and photometer (telescope) used during NASA's Kepler Mission.

In this game (on pages 14-21), learners explore how each human being inherits genetic traits such as eye color.

In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

In this math activity (Page 10 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "football" and analyze the results of the game.

In this outdoor activity that can be combined with a hike, learners try to match a "mystery community" by shaking animals out of different trees and shrubs.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the composition of unseen materials using a variety of tools.

Learners imagine they are paleontologists in Florida, where they find (remove from envelope) paper "fossils" of some unknown creature, only a few at a time.

In this activity/demonstration, learners explore pollen and how insects and animals transport pollen. Learners investigate and compare wind and animal pollination.

In this math activity, learners will create a scale diagram of their backyard or other outdoor area on graph paper.

In this activity, learners create a map showing the origins of spices and herbs from a favorite recipe(s). Learners first research the origins of the ingredients and then locate them on a world map.

Albert Einstein proved that space bends around anything that has mass. This activity uses Jell-O's ability to bend around objects as a model for space bending around planets and stars.

This reading and writing activity (on pages 2-9) teaches what plant parts should be avoided, how a person can get rid of toxins, symptoms of plant poisoning, and how plants create poisons to repel pre
