This activity uses a special paper that can create images with exposure to the Sun. Collect objects of different shapes and sizes and use them to make interesting patterns on your sun print.

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

Learners build 3D representations of constellations, which show not just the position of the stars as seen from Earth but also their relative distance from Earth.

In "Chemistry is Colorful" learners explore different materials through paper chromatography.

In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.

In this activity, learners use beads, which represent amino acids, to create protein bracelets. Learners examine the relationship between amino acids and proteins.

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

In this activity, learners build a simple solar oven out of household materials to melt chocolate and marshmallow between graham crackers--known as s'mores.

In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

Scientists use enormous wind tunnels to test the design of planes, helicopters, even the Space Shuttle.

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

In this activity, learners make their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.

In this activity, learners make critters out of recyclables and apply the rules of mathematics to solve genetics problems.
