In this simple activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a crystal garden using salt, water, and a brick.

In this activity related to music and sound vibrations, learners make a phonograph or record player out of simple materials. First, learners assemble the turntable, arm, and sound cone.

In this activity, learners will practice writing while making a fun messy craft. Learners will explore texture and color as well as develop writing and fine motor skills through this activity.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

In this a hands-on activity, learners explore how to put ice cream in an oven without it melting. Ideas in this activity include insulation and cooking.

In this activity, learners will make a model rocket to test the phrase "what goes up must come down." Learners will power their rockets with air pressure, and soon discover the effects of air resistan

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density by pouring 5 different liquids into a jar. Food coloring is added if needed to give each liquid a distinct color.

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

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

This activity shows you how to make amazing crystal spikes using Epsom salt and the sun.

In this game, learners cutout a model black hole "cone" and attempt to roll around a marble or other small spherical object without touching the event horizon.

In this engineering design activity, learners will design, test, and build a “haunting machine” to solve a Sherlockian mystery.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners use chromatography to separate and identify pigments within various leaves.

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 up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

In this activity, learners will observe laminar and turbulent flow of water using only a plastic bottle, liquid hand soap, food coloring and water.

In this activity, learners make bridges using an oil-based modeling clay (plasticene). The instructions include discussion questions for both before and after bridge building.

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

In this activity, learners investigate the reflective properties of light and mirrors as they make a kaleidoscope.
