In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing their very own instruments using PVC pipes, soda bottles, and a straw.

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

In this activity, learners work in teams to construct and test fly drinking straw rockets. Learners explore how changing the rockets' fins affect flight distance.

Build your own version of a favorite carnival game, in which a marble races down a maze consisting of rows of nails.

In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

Learners make their own paper. They start by shredding old newspaper, clean toilet paper, and clean paper towels.

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

Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.

In this online activity, learners see simulations of how processes shape the Earth, and see estimates of how long these processes take.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.

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.

This activity demonstrates liquefaction, the process by which some soils lose their solidity during an earthquake.

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

In this graphing exercise (page 2 of the pdf), learners compare their own height to the length of various sharks.

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

In this activity, learners investigate sound wave science, in stereo! Learners construct a "stereo" out of a metal coat hanger and piece of string to explore sound vibrations.

In this math activity (Page 17 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "baseball" and analyze the results of the game.

Learners use their opponent's clues and a compass rose to find the hidden treasure on a map. Learners use problem solving and coordinate grid skills as they hunt for treasure.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity demonstrates the shadow of the Earth as it rises as a dark blue shadow above the eastern horizon.
