In this optics activity, learners use water to make a coin "appear" and "disappear." Use this activity to demonstrate how light refracts and introduce light as waves.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners use chromatography to separate and identify pigments within various leaves.

In this activity, learners use a chemical reaction to visualize where moisture forms on the body.

In this activity, learners create a water prism to break light into the seven colors of the rainbow.

In this lab, learners evaluate the relative effectiveness of various chemical substances (i.e. garlic powder, bathroom cleaner, mouthwash, etc.) as antimicrobial agents.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this activity, learners examine the different materials gardeners add to their soil, and discuss how these materials are important for plant growth.

Learners work in teams to investigate how scientists use physical characteristics to classify living things.

In this activity, learners investigate the reflective properties of light and mirrors as they make a kaleidoscope.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) about the mixture of materials in bone and how they affect its strength.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners explore circadian rhythms by keeping track of their body temperature.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast different forms of luminescence by observing how chemiluminescence, phosphorescence, and fluorescence produce or emit light.

In this activity, learners calculate the number of milliliters of water a nearby tree transpires per day.

In this optics activity, learners use glass and water to demonstrate total internal reflection (TIR).

In this activity related to climate change and data analysis, learners examine temperature and precipitation data to determine if climate variations are due to El Niño.

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.
