In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.

This activity (on pages 24-29) combines science and art to introduce learners to how different animal pollinators spread pollen from one plant to another, and how certain shapes, colors, and smells of

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.

In this activity, learners will ask yes-no questions to identify a secret number (similar to Twenty Questions). Combine logic and numbers in this game for all ages.

In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

In this activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.

In this activity, learners observe the moon each night for a month and draw their observations in a Moon Watch Log.

In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.

In this lesson, learners will practice graphing and statistically analyzing data.

Learners look at labels on items in the room to determine where each item was manufactured, then write about the item on an index card.

In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass.

In this activity, learners test different food items by timing how long it takes each liquid to slide from the top of a ramp to the bottom.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

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.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Sailboat Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most to learn about the different sizes of dinosaurs.

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.
