In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

Learners draw pictures of how they envision scientists. By comparing and discussing the features in their pictures, they can discover common thoughts and stereotypes about scientists.

In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

Experiment with friction and make bearings for a whirligig! This activity is a nice introduction to friction and bearings and demonstrates why bearings are useful for spinning.

In this activity, learners use transparent tape and polarizing material to create and project beautifully colored patterns reminiscent of abstract or geometric stained glass windows--no glass required

Build time sense into the schedule by asking learners to predict what can happen in a certain amount of time: We have 20 minutes before outdoor time. What can you get done?

In this activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners build a musical drum using a cardboard tube, plastic wrap, and beads.

In this nutrition activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will be split up into food groups (Fruit, Vegetable, Meat & Beans, Grain, and Dairy) and draw a picture of their favorite food from their g

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

In this activity, learners will explore the ways natural materials can produce sounds. Appropriate for any age, learners can make individual music or create a symphony with others.

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

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 go outside and create a constellation.

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.

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