In this math lesson, learners identify and compare unit costs of given items. Learners use computation skills, problem solving and number sense to find the cost of an ounce of cereal.

Learners design their own experiment to determine conditions that either help or hinder the decomposition of carrots by soil microbes.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).

In this archaeology activity, learners make observations and conduct an experiment to demonstrate the effect saltwater has on artifacts.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this math lesson, learners explore and investigate measurement using standard and non-standard units.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection by encouraging them to formulate questions that can be answered through scientific investi

In this outdoor activity, learners measure familiar objects in nature to practice working with the metric system.

Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.

In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how some desert birds keep their cool.

In this math lesson, learners apply mathematical modeling to solve a real-world storage problem, in which a manufacturing company is given two options for storing oil barrels.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) about how visible light is affected by tiny nanoscale structures, producing iridescence on butterfly wings, soap bubbl

In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.
