In this activity, learners discover how their heart rate changes in different situations.

This simple but open-ended math game introduces basic probability concepts using coins and dice. Players roll the dice and collect coins to match the number rolled.

Learners examine the properties of light by experimenting with an LED-flashlight and polarizing filters. When two polarizers are used, they block all light when they are placed at right angles.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about the forces of gravity and surface tension and how their behavior is influenced by size.

In this activity, learners surprise their eyes with an optical illusion involving arrows made out of pipe cleaners.

In this math activity, learners guess a secret number between 1 and 100 in a three-player game.

In this activity, challenge learners to predict and investigate how many water drops they can fit on one penny.

In this math activity, learners create a magic turtle where all the rows, columns and diagonals add up to fifteen.

In this math lesson, learners use fruit to learn about proportions and percentages. Learners compare the weights of the edible and non-edible portions of fruit.

In this activity, learners are introduced to division and fractions as they share snacks with a group of friends.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate air has weight by comparing an inflated balloon to a deflated one.

Learners drop a magnet through a coil of wire to create electric current in a circuit. LEDs in the circuit allow learners to detect the direction of current flow.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.

In this weather activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate the changes in atmospheric pressure by constructing their own barometer.

These two activities (4th on the page) demonstrate the importance of two eyes in judging depth.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity uses a variety of simple props to help learners understand why they see what they see in a telescope.

Make a quick and easy filter from household materials. A filter will catch any solids suspended in a liquid and filter them out. By using a filter, learners can discover amazing things.

In this activity (17th on the page), learners investigate why you cannot see colors in dim light.

In this demonstration (18th on the page), learners conduct a simple test to explore how the cornea refracts light, which is further bent by the eye lens through a process known as accommodation.

In this quick activity/demonstration (5th on the page), learners explore depth perception.
