In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

How many colors make black? Gather as many water soluble black markers as you can find.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners use simple materials and basic tools to construct a special toy to explore pendulums. As the head of the toy bobs one way, the eyeballs bob the other way.

In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.

In this activity, learners will keep track of how much they can do in one minute. Instructors can pick something everyone will do for a minute, such as jumping up and down or drawing stars.

In this outdoor activity, learners construct bird feeders and set them up at to investigate bird behavior for one or two weeks. Multiple feeder designs are suggested.

Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en libros de consulta o en línea.

These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How fast can a cheetah run? or How long can a giant tortoise live? Post these around the room or leave them out for children to explore.

In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.

In this activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.

In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

Learners use shop tools and various materials to construct a magnetic spinner and a compass.

In this math-based activity, learners will experiment to find how height and angle affect spatter and then use this knowledge to solve a crime.

Learners create beautiful fluid motion. They explore fluid dynamics, surface tension, solubility, and buoyancy while mixing liquids together.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

In this technology activity, learners light up the room with electrifying play dough creations. Learners use conductive and insulating homemade play dough to build simple circuits.

In this activity, learners explore how voting systems have changed with engineering advances over time. Learners work in teams to design their own voting system using easy to find materials.

Learners make a counting/estimating jar to exchange with friends or bring home.
