Learners write or draw with white crayon on white paper. They look and feel to detect their marks on the paper. Then, learners paint over their paper with watercolor paint.

In this activity, learners investigate why apples turn brown. Learners discover that lemon juice interferes with the reaction that causes the browning.

This activity (on pages 7-13) has pairs of learners survey an array of similarities and differences between them.

In this weather activity, learners build their own wind detector and test for the presence of convection currents in their indoor location.

In this activity, learners use multiplication skills to get groups of aliens safely back to their planet.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure by attempting to make "balloon kebabs." Learners will try to insert a wooden skewer all the way through an inflated balloon

Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.

In this activity, learners will explore how different colors of lights interact with objects around them. Will a blue object stay blue with a red filter?

In this chemistry activity, learners discover that the weight of the product of combustion is greater than that of the starting material.
