In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a four-stringed instrument that can play a tune.

From this How To slide show, you create an Audio Tape Bow that can play distorted audio sounds by running it across a tape head.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

Learners explore soybeans, soak them in water to remove their coat, and then split them open to look inside. They also make a musical shaker out of paper cups, a cardboard tube, and soybeans.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

Learners design and create musical instruments from common objects; their challenge is to create an instrument that can make three different tones.

This outdoor activity/field trip requires a place where minnows swim, such as a local pond or brook.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

In this design challenge activity, learners add headphones to a previously built instrument (see "Build a Band" activity) to make it easier to hear.

In this delicious activity, learners get to make, taste-test and compare their own "brands" of homemade strawberry ice cream.

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

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.

In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.
