This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

In this physics activity, learners build a toy with a figure that spins around like a gymnast on the high bar.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners make a slimy substance very similar to mucus, and sprinkle it with glitter to imitate the way that allergens are trapped.

In this activity, learners use design thinking to design and build their own bridge out of household materials including adhesives and/or connectors.

In this activity, learners make their own binary code bracelets by translating their initials into 0s and 1s represented by beads of 2 different colors.

In this activity, "write" a secret message in genetic code as beads on a string.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

In this activity, you take regular dominoes, and turn them into conductive switches that can turn on a LEGO RCX block or Pico Cricket (micro controller). LEGO RCX block or Pico Cricket is required.

In this activity, learners design a flag for a chosen or assigned planet. The instructions include information about flags on Earth, and a list of flag references.

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) is a cloning method that involves transferring a nucleus from a somatic cell of the individual to be cloned to an enucleated egg.

In this activity, learners help a poor cartographer color in the countries on a map, making sure each country is colored a different color than any of its neighbors.

In this activity, learners use a nail and magnet wire to build an electromagnet, which controls the movements of a paper dancer.

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

In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

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.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this activity, learners construct three optical illusion toys to examine how our brains play tricks on what we see.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a trophy for prize-winning sports equipment.
