DIY Sunprints
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

Straws and Airplanes
Source Institutions
Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

Sidewalk Chalk
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners witness an exothermic reaction, while making their very own, completely usable sidewalk chalk. This is also an excellent activity for exploring color mixing.

Magnetic Seesaw
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

Mapping the Classroom
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover the importance of maps and scale as they work together to create a map of the classroom.

Waterbottle Membranophone
Source Institutions
In this activity, you'll use a straw, a water bottle and a paper tube to make an instrument that's very much like a saxophone.

Make An Impact
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners simulate the crashing and smashing of a meteor impact using household cooking supplies.

Carousel Pump
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

Linkages
Source Institutions
This design challenge is an open-ended exploration of linkages, a group of parts connected by hinges, and the types of motion they can create.

Engineering For Earthquakes
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.
Rate It: Working With Zero and Negative Numbers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will rate the day, a book, or something else on a scale from -2 to 2. This activity works well for groups of all ages.

Cooking with Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with different variables in making hollandaise sauce to achieve the correct texture and consistency.

The Three Little Pigments: Science activity that demonstrates the primary and secondary colors of lightScience activity that demonstrates the primary and secondary colors of light The Three Little Pigments Know your C, M, Y, and K.
Source Institutions
Align four color transparencies, each one a single color (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), and see a beautiful full color image.

Plant Hunt
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and game, learners collect and sort leaf samples to determine how many types of plants grow in the activity site.

Kaleidoscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).
