In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 106: My Mushy Banana, learners explore the effects of decay by comparing and contrasting something (an old pumpkin) that's decayed with the same thi

In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF), learners will play a game using their observation and listening skills, interpreting clues from each other to deduce their secret animal identity.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty soda cans to illustrate Bernoulli's principle.

This is a guide for facilitating interaction at a touch tank with marine animals. The instructions are for setting up a display in an informal science center, but could work anywhere.

In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, volume, density, and bounce height.

In this exploratory activity, learners experiment, observe and determine how various toys change from one form of energy to another.

In this activity (Lesson 1), learners work in groups to create tide simulations.

In this data collection and analysis activity, learners evaluate fish physiology and ecology using vision research data from Dr.

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.

This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.

In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.

In this quick activity, learners take a balance challenge to measure their average balance time. As they collect data, they investigate how practice and repetition improve their balance time.

In this goopy activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will model glacial movement with “gak,” a white glue and liquid starch mixture.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

In this 6-7 day investigation, learners begin with an introduction to seamounts that are present in the Gulf of Alaska.

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.
