In this activity, learners mimic remote sensing. Learners use a stick to measure the distance to a "planet surface" they cannot see, and create their own map of the landscape.

In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.

In this activity on page 9 of the PDF, learners test how flavoring extracts move through the walls of a balloon.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how forensic investigators collect prints from a crime scene. Learners make hand impressions in damp sand and analyze the patterns they observe.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity describes techniques scientists use to find planets orbiting other stars.

In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.

In this activity (page 10 of PDF), learners approximate the area of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater using a variety of square grids.

In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners will use cereal to conduct an experiment and investigate how decreased bone density is related to increased risk of bone fracture.

In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.
