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

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 explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.

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.

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

In this activity, learners will construct an air cannon as a model for the human ear.

Learners explore the endless possibilities of cardboard engineering in this open-ended STEAM activity. Practice being creative by building structures with no glue, only cardboard and scissors.

This activity provides instructions for making an aircraft that can really fly using a straw and paper hoops!

In this activity, learners use pattern blocks and mirrors to explore symmetry. Learners work in pairs and build mirror images of each other's designs.

In this activity, learners will write a secret message that only their friends will be able to read.

In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.

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

In this fun activity about spiders, learners build and design a spider from cardstock, straw, string, and pipe cleaners.

In this paleontology activity, learners explore the system behind dinosaur nomenclature.

In this activity, learners make their own bath bomb fizzies and experience what happens when they mix a base and an acid.

This activity provides step-by-step instructions on how to build a rain stick, a musical instrument originating in South America.

Learners will explore the chemistry of mucous and its importance to our health by following a process to make their own replica "snot." The activity includes a time and age recommendation, a materials

In this activity, learners create music from a series of bottles filed with water. Learners discover that the sound produced by each bottle depends on the amount of water in the bottle.

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of density and basic chemical reactions as they create a homemade lava lamp effect using water, oil, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer tablets.

In this math activity, learners make toothpick designs by following simple patterns.
