In this activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

In this activity, learners use transparent tape and polarizing material to create and project beautifully colored patterns reminiscent of abstract or geometric stained glass windows--no glass required

In this simple chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) about acids and bases, learners will mix a baking soda and water solution and use it to paint a message on a

In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

This is a simple activity for learners to create a traditional musical instrument. Pan Pipes have developed all over the world in different cultures, from South America to Greece and China.

Build time sense into the schedule by asking learners to predict what can happen in a certain amount of time: We have 20 minutes before outdoor time. What can you get done?

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners build a musical drum using a cardboard tube, plastic wrap, and beads.

In this outdoor science/art activity, learners investigate spider webs by using string to create their own spider webs.

In this activity, learners make a flip book that shows the progression of two solar events on reversible sides of the flip book.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.
