In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.

In this math lesson, learners identify the likelihood of an event by using a walk-on probability scale.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF (Chemistry—It’s Elemental), learners explore some of the properties of copper using a few common household ingredients.

In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore how saliva assists in the beginning of the digestive process.

In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.

In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

In this activity, learners construct an indoors obstacle course and discover how using an eye patch can help them complete the course in the dark.

In this activity, learners will learn about a person they admire (famous, family or otherwise) or even themselves and create a life-sized silhouette.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Farm Animals Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into raising livestock.

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.

In this activity, learners design miniature cars. Learners can create a telephone car, soccer car, merry-go-round car, or any other theme car they can imagine.

In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.

In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.

In this neuroscience activity (4th activity on the page), learners make their own set of Von Frey hairs to test detection thresholds.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this activity, learners build bridges and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with straws and pins.

In this activity (10th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make Braille letters out of cork or cardboard and map pins.

This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 7 of the PDF). Learners see firsthand how chemicals in a solution can combine to form an entirely different substance.

In this activity about molecular diffusion (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity), learners will make predictions and move molecules of iodine through a seemingly solid plastic sandw
