Students describe the characteristics of polymers and rubbers and how they improve human lives.  In this shock lesson students build a shock absorbing structure using different polymer materials. 

Students practice archery. In this archery lesson, students see how to shoot the bow and hit a target. They attempt to hit balloons that are attached to a target.  

Students explore the density of soap. In this science instructional activity, students conduct an experiment to find which types of soap will float. Students make a hypothesis and record their observations.

Students examine seven spiders and put them into two or three groups based on their structural similarities. In groups, they create a cladogram proposing possible ancestral relationships. Students design an experiment related to their...

Students simulate online the formation of Ape Cave, in order to better explain its construction. They observe, illustrate and discuss geological features of this lava tube.

Learners build a fish trap across a small stream. The purpose of the trap is to collect baseline data of Oncorhynchus kisutch, Coho salmon, smolt numbers coming out of a spring-fed pond. Other biological data also be measured.

Students participate in a fitness activity that relates to the time of year. They rotate to stations participating in P.E. activities with seasonal names.
