In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

Learners use a spring scale to drag an object such as a ceramic coffee cup along a table top or the floor.

In this four-part activity, learners explore light and sound through a variety of hands-on investigations.

In this activity, learners act as the Earth and observe how different angles between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the phases of the moon we see each month.

This mirror-tracing activity related to proprioception is a visual and motor test that involves learning a new motor skill.

Put math of measurement into lining up — and make waiting in line fun. Choose a size characteristic that learners can physically compare, such as foot length or hair length.

Learners initially test to see how many drops of liquid (water, rubbing alcohol, and vegetable oil) can fit on a penny.

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

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

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

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

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.

In this activity, learners create their own weather forecast map.

In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.

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

Build time sense into the schedule by asking learners to predict what can happen in a certain amount of time: We have 20 minutes before outdoor time. What can you get done?

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