This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how some desert birds keep their cool.

Learners tour their school or home looking for sources of indoor air pollutants (IAPs).

In this chemistry activity, learners use common chemicals to examine reactions that occur between two aqueous solutions.

In this math lesson, learners determine and compare the rate of descent of various learner-constructed parachutes. Learners construct parachutes that will have maximum hang times.

In this activity about sleep rhythms (on page 21 of the PDF), learners will collect data about their own sleep cycles and use a fraction wheel to examine their data.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

In this chemistry activity, learners make indicator solution from red cabbage. Then, learners test everyday foods and household substances using the cabbage juice indicator.

This game teaches ratio and proportion by having learners make "salads" that combine three types of beans in different combinations.

In this activity, learners will explore trends in shark populations using shark landing data from the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

In this math lesson, learners apply mathematical modeling to solve a real-world storage problem, in which a manufacturing company is given two options for storing oil barrels.

In this activity, learners will make cleaning up more fun with predictions and counting. Estimate how many things are on the floor (or table), then count as they are picked up.

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

In this math lesson (page 2 of the PDF), learners use bottles of various shapes to explore the abstract concept of rate of change.

In this math activity (Page 10 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "football" and analyze the results of the game.

In this activity, learners use their estimation skills to match the unmarked containers to their amounts.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites), learners will witness firsthand the effects of Bernoulli’s Principle by capturing a ping pong ball in the stream of air created b

Use multiplication to help the aliens find out how much fuel they need to get their spacecrafts home.

In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.
