In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

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 activity, learners explore the properties of paper by constructing and modifying paper airplanes.

In this activity, learners use a nail and magnet wire to build an electromagnet, which controls the movements of a paper dancer.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

This activity requires a Pico Cricket (tiny computer). Learners work on designing and building a sound sensor out of household materials, like plastic wrap and cardboard.

How many colors make black? Gather as many water soluble black markers as you can find.

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

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.

What's a Pickle-Oh? Two pieces of pickle on a stick are connected to a Pico Cricket (micro controller). When you slide the pickles apart the note changes.

In this activity, learners will keep track of how much they can do in one minute. Instructors can pick something everyone will do for a minute, such as jumping up and down or drawing stars.

Learners make kimchee or sauerkraut, which is really just fermented cabbage, in a 2-liter plastic bottle.

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

In this math activity, learners read "The Button Box" by Margarette S. Reid and then make their own button boxes filled with different buttons.

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.

In this activity, learners build a simple solar oven out of household materials to melt chocolate and marshmallow between graham crackers--known as s'mores.
