In this activity, learners design and build a Zoom-a-rang using everyday materials. Experiment with different materials and Zoom-a-rang designs to see how they fly.

In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

Up close, an array of dots could look random, but take a step back, and an image forms. By tracing over an image, learners can create their own dot based image.

In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF (Behind the Scenes with Chemistry), learners make three of Harry Potter's essential school supplies: quills, ink, and color-changing paper.

In this family or group activity, learners create a nature journal by visiting a local nature center or backyard, observing creatures in their natural habitats, and sketching what they see.

In this activity (15th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners use glue and cardboard to construct a maze they use with their eyes closed.

In this activity, learners will create their own coral polyps - the basis for a coral reef.

This resource contains ideas and brief instructions on how to build animals out of construction paper and other simple materials.

In this activity, learners will become an engineer by designing and engineering a miniature parachute.

In this activity, learners will build a model of a nebula using cotton balls and colored water. Astronomers photograph nebulas and add colors to provide information about the nebula's composition.

In this activity, learners will construct a device to blow bubbles. By adding corn syrup to the bubble solution, we can increase the surface tension of the bubbles--and their size.

In this activity, learners explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.

In this outdoor activity, learners will gather natural materials outside that they think a dinosaur would want to lay its eggs in.

To understand how skaters turn in midair, try this little experiment! Individuals can do this activity alone, but it works better with a partner.

A design challenge that takes paper airplanes into an entirely different direction: a magnus glider uses cups and and rubber bands to create a glider that uses the same forces that a curveball (from b

Learners write a message in Braille using beans to form the patterns of dots. Learners glue beans in place, and then challenge another learner to read the message.

This is a simple and fun activity for learners to explore water and colors.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover the wonders of the habitat surrounding them.

In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.
