Learners will do an experiment to determine which type of paper is strongest while focusing on variables and collecting data.

In this activity about human anatomy (page 16 of PDF), learners construct a model arm and discover how muscles and bones work together to achieve efficient movement.

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

In this activity, learners apply Ohm’s Law to construct voltage divider circuits. Learners discover how to read resistor codes and calculate resistor values.

In this activity, learners play a game similar to Tic-Tac-Toe. In this version, learners try NOT to get three-in-a-row. The player who gets three-in-a-row first loses!

Learners mark their traits for tongue rolling, PTC tasting (a harmless, bitter chemical), and earlobe attachment on tree leaf cut-outs.

In this activity, learners explore patterns and sequences as they observe fictional plant growth.

This is an activity about reaction times. Just how quickly must an NHL goalie respond to save a shot, and how does your reaction time compare?

In this activity, learners use what they know about probability to figure out what is in a mystery bag. Learners analyze data to guess how many of each color crayons are in the bag.

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 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.

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

In this activity, learners calculate their water usage (in cups and galloons) during an average shower. Learners also chart and analyze water usage during showers in their households.

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.

In this math activity, learners earn "money" by completing simple tasks. Learners complete as many "jobs" as possible in a set amount of time.

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