Students design and build their own parachutes in this hands-on engineering project.

In this activity, learners explore electricity and conductivity to find that many things conduct electricity including copper, pencil lead, fruit, play-doh, and even people!

Learners conduct a "blind" taste-test of several types of enhanced or fitness water drinking water that has commercially added substances like vitamins, sugars, or herbs.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

In this activity, learners use simple materials and basic tools to construct a special toy to explore pendulums. As the head of the toy bobs one way, the eyeballs bob the other way.

In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.

In this activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.

Learners use shop tools and various materials to construct a magnetic spinner and a compass.

In this hands-on experiment, kids use chemistry to explore whether acids or bases are better at restoring a penny’s shine.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners explore the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) by rotating through several activity stations.

In this math lesson, learners explore probability.

In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

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 a Benham Top to explore visual illusions and optics.

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

Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.

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