In this activity, learners examine their tongue and taste buds.

In this activity on page 12 of the PDF (Rethinking the 3 R’s: It’s Easy to be Green), learners examine how recyclable materials are separated by various properties at recycling centers.

In this activity, learners stain fabrics--on purpose!

In this activity, learners make their own rock candy. Crystals will grow from a piece of string hanging in a cup of sugar water. The edible crystals may take up to a week to form.

In this activity, learners experiment with surface tension using everyday household items such as strawberry baskets, paperclips, liquid dish soap, and pepper.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this math lesson, learners record and graph plant growth and interpret data. Learners plant seeds, and once the seeds sprout, record the change in height of the plants for several days.

Learners use a transparent plastic glove as a container to grow seeds. A different kind of seed can be planted in each finger.

In this activity (pages 5-7), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

In this activity, learners identify different classes of matter based on physical properties.

En esta actividad, Mateo y Cientina descubren una sustancia nueva y extraña que se llama "Oobleck". En su experimento ven que Oobleck tiene propiedades de sólidos y líquidos.

In this activity (pages 42-49), learners discover the methods and challenges of building nanoscale structures with macroscale equipment.

This is a demonstration about how nature inspires nanotechnology. It is easily adapted into a hands-on activity for an individual or groups.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find the volume of one mole of gas. Learners capture sublimated gas from dry ice in a ziploc bag and use water displacement to measure its volume.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct an experiment to get an idea of how cheese is made.

In this activity, learners conduct a simple experiment to see how electrically charged things like plastic attract electrically neutral things like water.

In this activity, learners build their own rockets from paper, coffee stirrers, and tape. Learners discover that when anything flies, air pressure is always involved.

In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.

This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.

In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.
