Learners make a mobile model of a carbon atom using clay, wire, and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners construct bug models that "jitter" all over the table with just a battery, motor, and counterweight.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

In this activity, learners map their world by drawing a plan of their bedroom.

In this activity, learners follow simple directions to explore and create platonic solids.

In this activity, learners build a bird feeder or feeders to attract birds for observation.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process and the basic mechanics behind building bridges as they build one themselves using gumdrops and toothpicks.

Using a milk-based recipe, learners create "moo glue" which is basically white school-type glue. The "secret ingredient" in milk that helps make glue is a chemical called casein.

Learners assemble a hot-air balloon from tissue paper. The heated air (from a heat gun) inside the balloon is less dense than the surrounding air and causes the balloon to float.

In this activity, learners create a map showing the origins of spices and herbs from a favorite recipe(s). Learners first research the origins of the ingredients and then locate them on a world map.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

In this activity, learners explore light and shadows by creating a lantern they can keep on their nightstand.

In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.

This activity has three story puzzles learners can solve to learn about life in the Arctic.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

This activity shows learners how computers use numbers to represent pictures. A grid is used to represent the pixels (short for picture elements) of a computer screen.

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

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.
