This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

In this activity, learners help identify native and non-native plant species, learn about invasive species, and determine how native plants provide a healthier habitat.

In this activity, learners engineer a flying glider using paper hoops and a drinking straw.

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

This is a quick activity that shows how large amounts of rock and sediment are added to the edge of continents during subduction.

In the kitchen, learners can perform their own density investigation.

In this activity about olfaction (9th activity on the page), learners smell 10 different items with different odors, including some edible food items.

In this activity (on pages 25-32 of PDF), learners make models of the inner ear out of pipe cleaners.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to make and race a balloon-powered car. Learners construct the body out of a paper cup, wheels out of wooden spools. and fuel tank out of a balloon.

In this activity, learners use Starburst® candy to sort, classify, compare, and graph. Learners grab a handful of one-inch candy squares, sort them by color, graph the candy, and discuss the results.

The popular sudoku puzzles use numbers, but the game could played with any set of 9 different objects!

In this activity, challenge learners to make a pencil stand on its tip using only two pieces of wire and two clothespins. Use this activity to demonstrate the center of gravity.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

In this activity, learners use measurement concepts to make models of what their body parts might look like if they were a snake or a chameleon.

In this activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will observe both a chemical and a physical change.

In this activity related to the famous "Stroop Effect," learners explore how words influence what we see and how the brain handles "mixed messages." Learners read colored words and are asked to say th

In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will construct their own walkalong glider. They will explore how air, though invisible, surrounds and affects other objects.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate ant behavior by testing ant feeding reactions to different types of food.

In this optics activity, learners examine how a transparent material such as glass or water can actually reflect light better than any mirror.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners find their blind spot--the area on the retina without receptors that respond to light.
