In this activity about encryption, learners cut out a secret decoder badge from a handout and use it to encode messages to each other.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Self-Assembly Activity) about self-assembly, the ability of molecules to assemble themselves according to certain rules.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a mapping technique to become oriented to the major features of an outdoor site.

In this hands-on activity, learners use toothpicks to build different triangles and squares and then use the toothpicks to build and solve some tricky shape puzzles.

In this activity, learners apply a dissolving test to known crystals to identify the unknown. Since the unknown is chemically the same as one of the known crystals, it should dissolve similarly.

In this activity, learners discover which plants and animals have symbiotic relationships and how this impacts each organism.

In this health activity (on page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about the body‘s defenses against invasion from tiny particles.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In two separate bags, learners mix water with Epsom salts and detergent.

In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

In this math lesson, learners practice measurement skills as they examine a soap bubble print. Learners follow a recipe to make a soap bubble solution.

In this activity (on page 146 of the PDF), learners will explore the effects of increased carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

In this activity, learners work in teams to construct human lung models from small plastic beverage bottles and balloons.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

In this activity about electricity, learners imagine that they are out in the wilderness and it is getting dark. Their task is to use the materials supplied to build a simple flashlight.

In this activity, learners act as epidemiologists by mapping the prevalence of HIV/AIDS worldwide.

This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.

In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their own vital lung capacities.
