In this simple activity (on page 7 of the PDF), learners use water and liquid dish detergent to see which one removes lipstick better from an index card.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity, learners explore genes and traits. Learners investigate their fingerprints and learn how to categorize them.

In this activity related to light and perception, learners use a pinhole in an index card as a magnifying glass to help their eye focus on a nearby object.

In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

Many people think the different stages in the life of a star are actually different types of stars, rather than just stages in the life of a single star.

In this activity, learners use a simple trick of perspective to dress friends in tiny cutout clothing. Learners make tiny pants out of card stock and tape them to the end of a stick.
