In this hands-on activity, learners track and record the passage of colored "pompom traits" through three generations of gingerbread people.

In this easy demonstration (3rd on the page), learners explore depth perception by conducting a test with two pencils.

In this activity (4th on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their ears is more dominant.

This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (fourth activity on the page). One learner stands behind a see-through barrier like a window or wire screen.

In this activity, learners play a guessing game to explore classification.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a rubber band-powered spool racer. Demonstrate principles of motion as well as potential and kinetic energy.

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.

This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.

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 explore the process of condensation.

In this activity, learners write a secret message in "invisible ink" and then use chemistry to view the writing.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners make a slimy substance very similar to mucus, and sprinkle it with glitter to imitate the way that allergens are trapped.

In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.

Learners add different liquids (water, salt water, alcohol, and detergent solution) to water and observe the different ways the different liquids combine with water.

In this activity, learners are challenged to lift a floating ice cube out of a glass of water using just one end of a piece of string.

In this activity on page 14 of the PDF (Rethinking the 3 R’s: It’s Easy to be Green), learners turn plain pieces of recycled plastic into shrunken works of art.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners explore how engineers characterize building materials.

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

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