In this activity, learners will make a marionette puppet and put on a show. Learners will explore color, design, fabrication and storytelling through this activity.

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this activity, learners construct drawing machines using a cup, some markers, and a battery pack. The markers act as "legs" for the machine, making a drawing that records as it moves.

This activity is about the mural making process done about 9,000 years ago in Catalhoyuk, Turkey.

Learners shred used paper, add water, and blend it into pulp. They then strain and roll the pulp out to make new paper.

In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.

Cardboard Automata are a playful way to explore simple machine elements while creating a mechanical sculpture.

The Chinese invented paper made from plants and cloth about 2,000 years ago. Learners follow a similar process to make paper from recycled paper.

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 investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.

In this activity, learners will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.

In this activity, learners construct bug models that "jitter" all over the table with just a battery, motor, and counterweight.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

In this design challenge, learners will create wind-powered contraptions to transport a load, such as a cupcake or another small object, and test to see if they work.

In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

In this activity, learners construct wands that play different notes depending on information from light sensors programmed via a PICO Cricket.

In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.

Make a one-string "guitar" by stringing a cup with some fishing line. You amplify the plucking of the string by placing a piezo contact microphone and mini battery powered amplifier inside the cup.

This outdoor activity/field trip requires a place where minnows swim, such as a local pond or brook.
