This activity is a whole-group kinesthetic demonstration that shows learners what it means to be in a "risk group" for developing heart disease based on family history and genetics.

In this activity, learners use tangrams ( 7-piece puzzle tiles) to assemble a variety of shapes. Tangrams are ideal for improving spatial reasoning and geometry properties.

This fun astronomy activity allows learners to experience finding stars in the night sky that will eventually go supernova. This activity is perfect for a star party outdoors.

In this activity, learners create a hearing based memory game that they can share with friends.

In this math activity, learners use what they know about shapes to copy a friend's hidden picture. Learners create a design out of pattern blocks and then hide their picture behind a screen.

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

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

In this activity, you'll use a straw, a water bottle and a paper tube to make an instrument that's very much like a saxophone.

This is an activity about friction as well as kinetic and potential energy.

Learners work in groups to build model cars from paper parts. First, each learner builds cars individually and the group times themselves.

In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.

In this activity (page 105 of the PDF), learners measure heart rate and blood pressure and learn how to obtain consistent measurements during repeated tests.

Learners cut out pictures of continents and attempt to put them together to form Pangaea, the supercontinent present on the Earth approximately 300 million years ago.

This activity (aka "snack") provides instructions for discovering your blind spot. It is an exploration of light and visual perception using simple materials you may have around the house.

In this activity, learners create a kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.

In this math activity, learners guess a secret number between 1 and 100 in a three-player game.

In this math activity, learners create a magic turtle where all the rows, columns and diagonals add up to fifteen.

In this activity, learners are introduced to division and fractions as they share snacks with a group of friends.

In this math activity, learners play a game and identify patterns with fun moves and sounds. Discover how dancing and signing involve patterns.
