In this activity, learners identify different classes of matter based on physical properties.

In this activity, learners simulate a multistage rocket launch using party balloons, fishing line, straws, and a plastic cup.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find the volume of one mole of gas. Learners capture sublimated gas from dry ice in a ziploc bag and use water displacement to measure its volume.

In this activity, learners try to float ink on the surface of water to create a pattern and then capture it with absorbent paper.

In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.

In this lesson, learners cut paper into very small pieces to explore the small size of quarks, the smallest thing we know of on Earth.

Learners explore the relationship between energy consumption, population, and carbon emissions in the countries of the Americas.

In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.

This simulation helps learners understand what happens to food as it passes through the digestive system.

In this activity, learners explore how molecules must fit together, like a lock and key, in order to identify each other and initiate a new function as a combined unit.

In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

In this web-based activity, learners try to figure out who in an online chat room has their matching puzzle piece.

Learners measure irregularly shaped bones using a variety of measurement methods and tools. Then, they measure again using standard conventions and metric tape measures.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

In this lesson, learners will understand the concepts behind endangered and extinct animals and develop their own conservation plan to save three endangered species.

In this lesson, learners will practice graphing and statistically analyzing data.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from yeast using simple materials.

In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass.

In this activity (on pages 20-23 of PDF), learners build a model of a power plant using simple materials.

In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.
