In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

In this activity, learners help a poor cartographer color in the countries on a map, making sure each country is colored a different color than any of its neighbors.

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

In this activity, learners listen to songs and decode hidden messages based on the same principle as a modem. As a final challenge, learners decode the binary messages in a music video.

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How fast can a cheetah run? or How long can a giant tortoise live? Post these around the room or leave them out for children to explore.

In this activity about encryption, learners cut out a secret decoder badge from a handout and use it to encode messages to each other.

In this activity learners create patterns of hair beads.

Choose a recipe to double (or triple, quadruple, or halve). Show everyone the recipe and engage them in figuring out: How much will we need to increase the recipe to feed everyone?

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.
