In this math game, learners toss plastic cups to land just right and collect points to win.

In this activity, learners will compare predicted and observed tides using data from The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA).

Learners determine the surface area and volume of two identical boxes, and then figure out the dimensions of a cubical box with the same volume.

In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.

In this activity, learners use tsunami time travel maps to predict how long it will take a tsunami to reach the shore.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

This activity (located on page 8 of the PDF) introduces learners to the concept of Non-point Source Pollution--what happens when rain washes garbage and other pollutants into rivers and lakes.

In this introductory activity, learners discover that sugar and food coloring dissolve in water but neither dissolves in oil.

In this math activity, learners predict how many pom-poms they can toss inside a circle from three feet away. Use this activity to help learners explore probability.

In this card game, learners make two sets of three cards that are alike. Learners must justify to the rest of the players why the three cards belong in each set.

Learners shine the light of a laser pointer through sheets of fabric that all have a different number of threads per inch.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about modeling a nanoscale phenomenon (gravity-defying gecko feet) with macroscale objects (shoes).

In this bilingual (English/Spanish) activity, learners create family trees by tracing the hands of their family members.

In this activity, learners explore Charles' Law in a syringe.

In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, learners use a laser pointer (with known wavelength of light) to measure the thickness of a human hair.

In this math activity, learners use what they know about shapes to copy a friend's hidden picture. Learners create a design out of pattern blocks and then hide their picture behind a screen.

In this math activity, learners create symmetrical designs for paper models of special blouses known as huipiles.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Self-Assembly Activity) about self-assembly, the ability of molecules to assemble themselves according to certain rules.

Learners experiment to see which colors of light will cause a phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) material to glow.

In this hands-on activity, learners use toothpicks to build different triangles and squares and then use the toothpicks to build and solve some tricky shape puzzles.
