In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

In this activity, learners test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.

In this math activity (Page 11 of the Dining Out! PDF), younger learners count out the total amount of money needed to purchase trail mix using the fewest number of bills/coins possible.

In this activity, learners imitate the way vocal cords work by building a model from a plastic cup, rubber band, and a straw.

In this activity about tangrams, learners print and cut out their own tangram shapes and solve puzzles by fitting these geometric pieces together in a variety of ways.

What's a Pickle-Oh? Two pieces of pickle on a stick are connected to a Pico Cricket (micro controller). When you slide the pickles apart the note changes.

In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.

Learners use their knowledge of color changes with red cabbage indicator to neutralize an acidic solution with a base and then neutralize a basic solution with an acid.

In this activity, learners build a tool called an inclinometer that can find the height of any distant object, from a tree to the North Star.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In "Exploring the Solar System: Stomp Rockets," participants learn about how some rockets carry science tools—not scientists—into space, and how a special kind of rocket called "sounding rockets" can

During this lesson, learners will determine their blood pressure and learn about systolic and diastolic pressures.

In this activity about neuron/target muscle recognition (page 44 of the PDF), learners arranged in two rows facing away from each other use string to simulate neural development.

In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

In this activity, learners observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

In this activity, learners will create their own simple shadow puppets, and experiment with light and shadow while playing with them.

In this activity, learners explore and compare the buoyant properties of materials found in nature and in human-made materials.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.
