In this nutrition/food science activity, learners conduct an experiment and record data to compare the amount of fat in different foods.

Computers are often used to put lists into some sort of order—for example, names into alphabetical order, appointments or e-mail by date, or items in numerical order.

Learners work in pairs to create three simple types of bridges, a beam bridge, an arch bridge, and a suspension bridge.

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this activity about computer programming, learners follow instructions in a variety of ways in order to successfully draw figures.

This is an outdoor activity designed to demonstrate evolution of feeding behavior in flocking, schooling or herding animals that maximizes allocation of food resources and enhances survival.

In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.

In this activity, reuse two-liter bottles to create bowling pins. Learners practice math skills and develop a concept of verifying answers, while bowling and keeping score.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

Learners examine the manufacturing process while they make picture frames from cereal boxes.

In this activity about problem-solving, learners build a house for the Three Little Pigs using twenty straws and two index cards.

In this fun activity for any size group, early elementary learners complete physical challenges while playing a game. Learners add new challenges to the "wheel of fitness" that they want to try.

In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

In this lesson plan, learners examine some of the of greenhouse gas emissions sources in their community.

In this activity, learners test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under What's Nano? Activity) about size and scale.
